Default Finally lowered my Bones

As the title says I finally lowered my Bones. I got a local Indy shop to do the work and they even had an Hd 200 rear sitting around and I got it cheap. It is lowered approx 2 inches but can go 1 more inch if I wanted. I dig it. It makes the fender flow better.
I had recently installed a set of strip led's under the fender. Well those are on the highway somewhere, got ripped off by the tire. Oh well only $20.

Man that looks nice, the Bones was made to be lowered but I worry about cornering and scraping. How does it ride?

Handling is good, actually a little better with the lower stance. Cornering and scraping not too much more than before it was lowered. I scraped floorboards on just about every corner when it was at stock height so I did not notice much of a difference. I like the ride it is a little more rigid than before but I like that. I am going back to the scissor springs though. I definately recommend the kit, Arlen Ness lowering kit for Softails $100.
