Lowering 2012 HD Switchback
Has anyone purchased lowering shocks for the 2012 HD Dyna Switchback where they actually lowering the height of the motorcycle? My feet do not fully touch the ground and trying to see what shocks lowers the motorcycle down for me. I'm 5'6", inseam of 29, and prefer both feet on the ground.
I know the P/N 54619-08 shocks will not lower the motorcycle, as these shocks are not for the Switchback.
Thanks.

I visited Progressive's web site. I was not sure which shock would be right for the 2012 FLD103.
Thanks.
Thanks.

On the top of their home page is a tab "Product Line" click that and enter the info for your bike. it will show you a complete list of what they offer for our FLD's. For rear shocks, the stock length is highlighted in yellow. The 11" inch shocks are offered in 2 different variations and one of them is available in a full cover to keep it stock appearing.

I found the 412-4045B and 430-4045B shocks for the FLD103. Now I need to determine which shock is right for me, including the price difference between these two. The 430-4045B seems like a better shock and wonder what the differences between these shock as I normally ride two-up on the bike.

to put me nearly flat footed on my bike as the factory seat is much wider.....
also the next addition will be my 12" street glide air shocks, when i had them on my wide glide last year they compressed a little more with my weight and put me that much lower

I took a ride with my boots on, which I normally do not wear, and I seem almost flat footed on the bike.

sounds like the fat bob seat would fit the bill if you would be comfortable on it..
