Lowering a Switchback,is it possible?
My OL has a SB,and she is really short. Her current setup is tall boots,and a super reduced seat. I have looked online at lowering shocks,and nobody seems to make any that can give her an extra inch or so she needs to fully flat foot. I also have been looking at lowering brackets,and everyone I see it says it will fit every Dyna except Switchback. I don't know if there is some isssue with the bag,but even the company themselves can't tell me if their bracket will work on a SB. I've tried places like LA choppers,and Burly and they don't even know 100%. Kind of pulling our hair out right now with so little information available.

the isssue is with the shocks, the chrome housing would need to be notched in order to use lowering brackets was what i was told.
progressive is making lowering shocks for the bike, saphira on here has them.
other option is the air shocks, i have not installed mine on the switchback yet
but when i put them on my wide glide last year they compressed more than the stock coil style putting me lower to the gorund but gave a better ride both 1 and 2 up.
if that still isnt enough you can opt for this
