No. You can sit lower by shaving the seat foam, but actually lowering the tail of the bike requires a change at the shock. No way I could see fitting the equivalent of lowering blocks to the shock mount in this new design.
I know Thunderbike and BidDaddyCustoms make a lowering kit for the new Softail shocks...they require disassembly of the shock though for install.

Yes, I lowered my 2018 Harley Breakout by buying a new rear fender from Dark-Parts Motorcycle Company in Germany. I recently received my brake light for the kit. I love the LED brake light and installed that and the LED turn signals. I am super happy with it!
Anyway, the fender hugs the tire when you sit on it and the rear shock is adjusted to the proper pre-load (check your manual).
Looks totally bad a**!!
New fender requires having a custom seat made but they sell the fiberglass seat pan. That saved me money on the custom seat fabrication.
I bought the entire body kit, stretched tank, etc. because I wanted to build a custom chopper from the Breakout platform.
Also had Harley build a Stage IV 117 with the Horsepower cam. Everything SE. I know some people go with aftermarket builds but I have my reasons for sticking with Screaming Eagle. I got a lifetime warranty on the bike. So, I wasn't taking any chances of having warranty issues down the road.
Peace of mind.
Good luck!
P.s. My fault that the paint got chipped up on the rear fender. I used a temp LED light while waiting for the brake light and it peeled the paint when I removed it.
Your bike looks great! The rear fender must come down ALOT when you are on it? (Looks like it's sticking up there pretty good just sitting there?) If ya don't mind me asking, approx how much for that rear?
This is what I’m thinking to use to lower my sport glide. I wish it was a little less expensive but it still is not as costly as replacing the shock.
Another option is to modify The stock shock yourself.... take it apart, shorten the damper rod, cut the spring, reassemble....
ive done that loooong time ago when there’s no such thing as “lowering (shorter) shocks” on the market...

Good find. Does zodiac ship to the US though?
Looks like it replaces the stock adjuster (and its width).

Thanks... Sorry, didn't see your response until now.
