You can go as low as 11" with aftermarket shocks. Stock rear suspension is 12" for the Street Bob. The lowered 11" give it that slammed look but there's a trade off in ride quality. Expect much firmer (somewhat harsh) ride compared to stock.
I initially bought 11" shocks for my Street Bob but eventually settled on 11.5" Progressives. They still give you that slammed look but still have a somewhat comfortable ride.

I have 11's on mine(plus progressive drop-in lowering springs) and don't find them bad riding. You do tend to scrape things more though.

I have 11 progs on the back and 2in prog drop in the front. I noticed a firmer ride with the shocks set the softest. Riding 2-up feels great. I'm glad I did not buy the Prog HD shocks. the quoted 225lbs should be listed more like 275lbs. to go with the HD shocks.
