Burly Slammer kit question
I like this idea. Are the Arnott kits any good?

So is lowering a Street Bob as easy as putting on shorter shocks? Or is it more complicated?
From jmeiers post, I get there will be a loss of clearance with lowering, but I could really use just a 1/2 inch less seat height to be perfect when stopped (with my battery bags).
I have Ricor Intimidators with stock springs up front and am saving up for a rear upgrade next. I'm considering options to get just a bit lower without changing out my saddle.

Or try the Progressive 430's. I think you can get them in 11.5". That should give you your 1/2". However, they cost a bit more.

Yeah, they are good but very expensive. Look up some vids showing it in action. You can slam the bike till the fender touches the tire and then hit a button and air it back up and go riding. They have a compressor that mounts to the bike to handle the air.
Trust me, I have thought about those air rides myself. However, they cost more than a Fuel Moto 107 build, which is my next big project. Once my motor is done, I may go for an air ride since I will not really have anything left to do on this bike.

It really is that easy. Just swap on some lowering shocks. Try the Progressive 412's like I have. You can get them for like $200 shipped if you shop around. You will have no problems reselling them if you don't like it.
Or try the Progressive 430's. I think you can get them in 11.5". That should give you your 1/2". However, they cost a bit more.
