^^LOL...I know all about it...try having 2 in diapers at the same time Talkin about being broke as a joke Glad that time has past....

Sorry to get your hopes up, but I'm not sure if mine will work for you. I don't know enough about these Dyna's yet to know what, if anything changed along the years with the rear suspension.

Quick search on ebay, and the rear lowering brackets seem to come in 2 types...95-05 and 06-13. Since yours is an '06, I'd hate to waste each others time and money and send 'em to you and them not work. Looks like you can get them new for around $50, but you may be able to find a better deal somewhere else. FWIW, I'd probably sell mine for $30 shipped when I list them.

Good luck though!

Actually I am married. Our wide glide my wife decides what and how things are done. The super glide is mine I do it like I want. The street glide is our tourning bike, since it is a CVO I don't do much to it other than making it comfortable for us both.
Personally I do not like the blocks to lower a bike. I would consider doing shorter shocks instead. The blocks change the angle of the shocks. But that is me.
It is your choice.

I haven't had any issues riding 2 up on lowered bikes with my old lady. Then again I'm 170 and she's 110 soaking wet. I can imagine that the combined weight of us two may not have a big impact on the shocks.

Shocks, Shocks, Shocks!

I slammed my rear three years ago when I got the bike new, have 31k on it know and it rides like a champ. I rub my exhaust and expect to, its a long pipe, it lets me know where I am lean wise. I rub my forward left peg, it also lets me know where I am in my lean angle. It's kinda like a crotch rocket racer, at first putting your knee on the ground in a corner is scary, but once your used to it, its expected and your corner with more confidence. The only negative to rubbing the pipe is if your to agressive and it causes tracsion loss to the rear tire (I did this once, scared the **** out of me). This is just my opinion, take it for what it's worth.
