Considering lowering my bike
Hey guys, I was lookin into lowering my 06 streetbob maybe 1'' or 1.17''. I was just gonna go with blocks so i can keep my stock shocks. I ride 2-up sometimes so i'm wondering if that will be a problem? I'm like 150 lbs but young so I'll put on some weight eventually haha, but my g.f is only like 100lbs 105 MAX haha. anyways what do yall think?
Considering Lowering my Bike
Blocks and sliding the front forks up an inch are the simple way to drop an inch.
I was enamored by the idea of the relatively new Progressive "Drop In" Front Springs so did them on my FXDC. Front end is maybe a tiny bit stiffer but the front end sure feels good on all sorts of road conditions and ride lots of two up too. Oh and I put Progressive Shocks in the rear. Neither I nor my lady weigh much so a little more pre-load on the rear shocks is all I did.

I put 11" shocks on my bike and we never bottom out....in fact the ride is much better than the stock shocks were.
