Lowering a 2019 FLHTKSE
Just finished a 4K break-in ride on my new 2019 Limited CVO. What a kick *** bike! Now need to get the riding position dialed in from stock to me. Working on replacement handlebars, but need some advice on lowering the rear end. On previous Limited's (non CVO) I've used the Profile Air Touring shocks, and that worked very well for me. I think the new CVO shocks are not air, but adjustable's, so I'm, not sure whether HD has a shorter product, or I need search other shock manufacturers, or is a lowering kit the way to go? Any experiences anyone has with lowering their late model CVO would be appreciated.

What comes on the ‘19 CVO Limited is a 13” hand adjustable premium rear shock. What comes on the ‘19 CVO SG is a ‘12” hand adjustable premium shock. On my ‘17 CVO Limited I bought a set of new tank offs from a ‘17 CVO SG. The same shock comes on all SGs and RGs. There are better options out there but they are a lot more expensive. I think I paid about $175 for them from another forum member. I’m about 215lbs and for 1 up Touring there were great even loaded, but when my wife went along the ride could be a little harsh. She doesn’t ride much and never any further than a couple hours so to me it really wasn’t a big deal.
Not sure what handlebars you are looking at but check out Wild Ones 10” Chubby Apes. They keep your hands just below the fairing and are extremely comfortable. Also at 10.5” all factory cables work.
Enjoy your new bike and good luck on the changes.

I just installed these the other day on my non cvo ultra. I have a mustang seat that raised me up enough to where it was difficult to have both feet flat on the ground at stops. I thought about some 12" shocks but I don't have any complaints about the stock ones that are on it now. Those lowering blocks did the trick. If the OP just wants to sit a little lower and doesn't have any issues with the shocks on it now, these sure are a heck of a lot cheaper than new shocks. Quality is great and takes about 20 minutes to slap them on.
