Default All lowered Deuce owners.

I have been doing research on this for a little while now and have finally decided to do it. I'm just gonna lower the rear. I'm thinking 1.5" since I dont always ride solo. I'm still a little worried at weather I will bottom out. I have the deuce quick sissy bar that mounts under the seat. The bottom plate always stays on the bike though. The bolts stick out under the fender about 1/2 an inch. Do any of you have one of these installed and ride two people? Overall weight with two is around 300 lbs. Can you also post some pics of your deuce lowered and tell how much it is lowered. Thanks.

how are you lowering it? lowering bolts? 422? shotgun?
lowering not the best for two up riding, i installed bolts,lowered with bolts about 2" maybe, looks better but rides worse, you feel the bumps,im 105kg
i will go to 422 to improve ride at some stage
