Default Lowering a 12 SB

Hi all,

I want to lower my 12 Street Bob and having looked at Progressive kits they only appear to drop it to 11". Reason being that I want to lose the rear light and chop the fender to where the light was. Then need to reduce the space between the rear tyre and fender.. Any suggestions?

Many thanks...

I really think some people use a HDForums Dart Board or maybe a Spin Wheel to determine their post placement

I swear...since they brought out that cursed "Related Thread" "feature" this kind of belated reply has become all too common. The poor guy probably thought he was replying to another, newer thread and now has to suffer the embarrassment.
