Hi guys, I want to pick your brains. I want to do the rear shock lowering bolts on my 07 fxst, she leans over pretty far rite now, will I need to do something with the kickstand if I lower the rear? I just want to get the inexpensive shock kit extensions.

 

You don't need to but it would be better to. Your bike will just be more upright than it is now

 

It shouldn't make that much difference, if you just lower it an inch or so. That's approximately how far the rear of the Deluxe, Fat Boy LO and my SE Fat Boy is lowered and they come with the same jiffy stand as the other Softail models. My SE doesn't lean over as much when it's on the jiffy stand then the regular Fat Boy, but I've never had a problem.

 

Depends on your pipe type, usually the right side is the limiting side, yes it will touch faster, I found that lowering the front at the same time gave me better clearance than just the rear.
I have the rear down 1.5" and the front 2"

 

No, lowering the rear should not be an issue. I have air ride and can slam it without issue. Now I lowered the front 2", and added the shorter stand.

 

pretty easy to lower! here is how you do it!!

Once you lower the front ,you need the shorter k stand
