Depends on the shocks. The flhtk also has a little higher compression and a little more power.

 

Not sure what kind of shocks they'd put on. I imagine the 3" one's from the flhxs, if they're an exact fit.

 

For the money that those cost get ohlins or progressives. Theyre all bolt on

 

Good to know, so maybe I'll tell the dealer not to do that and just give me the $500 and then do it myself.

 

Thats just the rears. The rears are easy and you can get good shocks under 700. Id give an extra 200 for good quality shocks.

 

Sounds good, thanks man!

 

Here is a picture of the flhtk 2015 I am looking at. I'm not crazy about the front wheel but it is 21" so I can always sell it and swap it for another.
If I drop the rear 1" and put stretched bags, it's already got the apes and the 21 in the front, as well as the V&H pipes. I really wouldnt need all that many more mods to bag it out.

I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on this one, only thing I find is the UG is so damn heavy and high, I can only hope dropping 1" in the back makes a world of difference.

 

I'd also like to hear more on how to mod the seat to make it lower. Anyone actually done this?

Thx

 

Im swapping seats to get lower and ive heard mean city cycles mentioned for seat mods. 1" i dont think is going to make that much of a difference overall on how the bike feels and i dont really thing the streetglide feels any different than an ultra, just an inch shorter.

 

Few things - ULTRA for sure and dont touch the suspension, change the seat! HD hakes a lower seat, its a bolt on. After market such as Saddlemen have a custom shop to do this if they do not have a product available... I never heard of a dealership saying swap the suspension - HD itself has a fitment shop.. If it was me, the 21 incher just aint my thing..
