Have any of you Deluxe owners lowered your ride??? My wife is 5'1" so you know the story...

 

no need it is so low now

 

mine is low. but i did wonder the same thing. i think ill leave well enough alone. if i try to fix whats not broken i wind up breaking it

 

My wfe just picked hers up yesterday. While this bike does have the lowestest height in the harley family, its lowered by the facory in the rear, I was told yesterday that the front could be lowered also with a spring kit from harley. This may give you what you want.

 

Pic of a lowered NT. I do not like it and am have it put back to stock this week. This was lowered front and rear. Turn radius not as good and on any bump i get some metal to metal contact in the front forks becuase of the shorter travel.

 

I asked about lowering mine ,dealer saids H D kit will not fit. If you lower it you will be asking for trouble cornering and turning.

Hey Bill! I'm not sure I'd lower anything other than the seat on the Deluxe. They're pretty darn low already and I'm afraid she'd be scraping the floorboards on every turn if you did (If you look at the specs on the Harley website you can see the lean angles are pretty low on the Deluxe). I do know that the Corbin Classic Solo seat is a little bit lower, but it's pretty firm during the break-in period.

Thanks for the advice kurt. A salesman at the dealership mention that there was a little room under the rear fender for possible lowering but he didn't consider the frame clearance. I believe I'll just get her some 6 in heels to wear......

 

LOL! That just may be the ticket!!!

My ride is at the service shop at the moment getting some more mods done. It's parked next to another Deluxe, and I noticed that bike's front end looked lower than mine. The tech said that the owner did lower the bike. Anyway, just to answer the initial question...it's been done.
