Question Rocker mods

This is curiosity killing the cat, but I'm sitting here wondering, of all you Rocker owners out there, how many of you have: a)installed the lowering kit; b) are thinking about the kit or c) leave it as HD made them?
And if you'd like, please reply with your best pic.

This is an old pic when I first got it lowered, a little over a year ago. I've since changed the grips, added headlight visor, front turn signal visors, beveled chrome inserts to the swing arm, fork bag, and removed the reflectors.

I am thinking about getting an Arnott air-ride so that I can adjust the ride height. Current photos of it at stock ride height, the front fender is off because it's being used by the body shop to match up my Heartland front fender.

I just received my 09 Rocker C but am definately going to lower the rear, do a complete black-out and install a springer front end with additional an 3 deg rake. Will post pics as the mods happen...

I lowered mine using the Arnott air ride. It's a little pricey but it will ride better than it did in stock form. The lowering kit will ride rougher than stock. I will get some pics up when I get the Heartland rear fender back from paint. You cant even tell its lowered with out a fender or seat on it.

Greetings,

I'm keeping mine the height that it is. I scrape pegs enough as it is!
