Default Lowering the FXSTC

How many of you have lowered your fxstc and are you glad you did? I ride 2up most of the time, and although i know that will make cornering clearance even less...i like the look.

The other issue you will run into, particularly running 2-up, is hitting the bump stop. The ride will be more harsh. I will suggest you invest in a quality shock like the Progressive 422 instead of just installing lowering bolts. And yes, they do look cool when lowered.
