Lowering The Bike...
Lowering The Bike...
Hello again,
I just ordered a Lowering Kit for my bike (05 Deuce) and I'm thinking of just lowering it from the rear, Would it look better?, or I should lower the front side too?
P.S. : I'm planning to install 21" wheel front and 18" wheel rear.
Thank You.

Terry,
I lowered my Road Glide front and rear also, and I would agree with you about looking and handling better on our Glides but I only lowered the rear on my Fatboy and think it looks better on Softtails. Just my 2 cents.

You'll be fine with just lowering the rear. Only lowered the rear on mine and the handling is still right on. For both looks and handling that's the way to go, in my opinion.
Your bike will look great with the rear lowered. One of my few complaints about the stock Deuce was always the amount of gap between the rear fender and tire. A lowering kit changes the whole look of the bike -- for the better!
Enjoy!

Thanks a lot guys.
I will lower the rear side only cause as you said and as I think it'll look better.
Thank you again and looking for your help to complete my project.

RE: Lowering The Bike...

but the only draw back was i hardly get to ride alone either the wife or kids on the back
and every corner i was scraping the pipes or frame so i am leaving my new one stock height ...

RE: Lowering The Bike...
lowered mine front and rear, I like trhe look better for my big heavy lookin fatboy, but for a deuce just the rear looks fine ,as for ride its just going to be harsher as you will remove some of the travel of your suspension,you will drag pipes , floorboards more and if you have a passenger you probably will bottom out on occasion, that said It just looks great , do it.
