Default Lowered Softails - Need pics

All,
I am looking for pics of lowered softails using the Harley Davidson low profile lowering shocks. Prefer to see pics of bikes with the Bob Tail fender, as I am on an 04 Springer, but all are welcome.

Thanks

No shocks here, just bolts.

Couldn't be happier considering how inexpensive they were.

Adjustable w/ a few turns of the wrench.

Even slammed, it does not "bottom" out riding two-up.

Although I don't have a bobtail fender, below are a few pics to show how much it tucks. Keep in mind, the entire side walls were visible prior to installing the kit!

I used the Nesskit on mine(2 inch drop).Pics aren't the greatest but give some idea of the stance.

Air Ride here.

I think you might be disappointed with the HD kit. It doesn't allow for as much lowering as the others...at least mine didn't. I tend to prefer the slammed look though.
