Street Bob - Lowering Blocks
Does anyone know if any companies make a lowering block for an 07 FXDB Street Bob. I have already put 11" Harley Davidson Rear Shocks, and have also completed the lowering of the front end. I still need to get it lower!!!

whether or not blocks will work on your DYNA with 11in shocks is hard to say. i have seen them on ebay but i'd imagine you'd be getting close to the fender at this point.

My last measurements iirc, showed that there was about 4" of travel on the rear wheel, but that's without anybody sitting on it. I think you'll be close to bottoming out if you drop it by any more than an inch...

i have stockers on my dyna with the 1" lowering blocks. it could be lower but for the price it was a good move. as the others said anymore and you might start rubbin. but dennis kirk has the blocks i got for pretty cheap.

Hey uuummmmmmmm....... Have you tried making a hard right hand turn with 11in shocks ???? I have 11.5's on my Bob and can only lay it over so far riding two up. I dont have lowslung pipes on it either. Suprised the $hit out of me when we took a rt hand turn and scraped.[:-]So if you have lowerd as much as you say I wouldnt go any lower or hope all your turns are to the left.

RE: Street Bob - Lowering Blocks
This 07 Street Bob is my mom's bike and she is 4'11" and only about 110 pounds so I am not worried about it bottoming out at all. I am just looking for lowering blocks to help her feel more comfortable when riding. Currently is on her toes, and I think I can get it a little lower without affect things.
