Default street bob shocks on dyna cutom??
Im looking at putting some street bob shocks on my dyna custom to lower it a little bit in the rear.
dyna custom is 27.8in seat height with street bob being 26.8in seat height.

My question is will i notice any handling issues or is there anything i should worry about doing this?
I am not looking to lower the front end at this time

If you don't ride your bike hard you shouldn't worry about scraping or anything else.
It will be fine. Maybe you should look into some progressives shocks they are much better than stock.

You shouldn't have any problems. The steet bob shock will only lower it half an inch.

I put Progressive 412HD 12", full covered on my FXDC

Rides nice and seems to handle my solo riding on the softest setting with no problem.

I stress my bike at 220lbs

The HD stands for heavy duty on these shocks.
