Slammed, im guessing you mean lowered the rear end? if so yes, mine is lowered with 1.750" blocks, in sig pic. if you go this route and go thislow,springs up as tight as possible and easy on the bumps or it will bottom slightly, 2 up riding, no go.

yea i wanted to lower my rear end, but I was told by many people that I would have to modify my fender, I didnt really wanna go the route you went with the blocks instead I wanted to lower it with smaller shocks, have you heard of this modifying or cuttin the fender to make it fit, thanks

I think a lot of guys are buying different rear shocks to lower their bikes and they dont have to modify the rear fender at all..and ride 2 up as well. A 1" drop and you will be fine.

Have you read this post? im sure your answer will be there. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...-our-mods.html

Looks in my case, it tucks the tire up inside the rear fender a bit deeper, other than that no benefit to me.
