Easiest way to lower my 09 StreetBob??
I would like to lower the rearend of my SB an inch or 2...But I really don't want to spend a ton of cash doing it. I consider myself moderately mechanically inclined and this doesn't look like something that would be above my skill level...I'm just looking for advice on the easiest (and yes, Cheapest) way to get this done??
Any info will be greatly apprecaited

I lowered my '08 Street Bob with lowering blocks suggested by a couple guys here. Bought a pair of black ones from a forum member, but here's a link to who makes them.

I needed to do it to get a light bit more footing. They brought me down 1", and that was pretty much all I needed. The only thing it screwed up was my saddlebags since it kicks the shocks back so I had to adapt them.

Slide the front forktubes up in the trees an inch and get the tamarack lowering blocks....thats the cheapest way...
Or go with progressive lowering kit in front
and 412 11" shocks in the rear...costs a bit more

Preferably of the 300+ pound variety, and don't do Dairy Queen, too expensive, try McDonalds. and stay away for the Taco Bell! ever had a bad case of gas (feed taco bell to a 300 pound woman) and you will really know what it is like.
