Raising back to stock height with the kit still installed will get the softer ride back. check out http://fatbillscustoms.com/ tons of info w/pics.

RE: uninstall lowering kit?
Try spending some money.
Instead of a lowering kit, buy some Progressive 422 shocks.
Man, you would actually "raise" A SOFTAIL?
That's like removing your bike's *********, plus you'll look like this guy:
I think I'm going outside and lower mine some more....

RE: uninstall lowering kit?
Let me explain WHY..lol. I ride with my finance on back alot and the ride just sucks for her. Around town its no big deal but anything longer than an hour or so isnt to comfortable. Of course the aftermarket seat doesnt help matters alot either. So i will try some 422 shocks and progressive front springs and see if that help. I DO like the lowered look just want a better ride for the longer trips.

I realize you can swap seats and so on, but I wanted to be all solo all the time.

To be honest, that's what I did. I wanted a solo seat and lowering kit so I bought my most expensive accessory, which happens to be an '07 1200L. I realize you can swap seats and so on, but I wanted to be all solo all the time.

I realize you can swap seats and so on, but I wanted to be all solo all the time.I am not quite senile enough and I still have all my own teeth so a bagger was out.
If I wanted a softail and to ride solo it meant getting my chick a chick bike...so I got her an 883 to learn on.
It's a 6000 dollar solo seat...but worth it.
