Currently mine is on Progressive 422 on the rear and my wife rides with me quite often. She is 100-105lbs and I am down the full 2". No problems with rub however if you can, go with air so you can tune a comfortable ride for you both. I plan on getting mine done this week.

I bought a Fatboy Lo 2012 it already comes lowerd dont know if that counts but took my wife for a ride and it felt fine and no complaints from her! It comes lowerd 1.15 inches from the factory so if your any lower then that it might be different.

Hey Bro, If you are riding 2up and travel alot (ride other than around town) I reccomend the shotgun. My Luxe had stock shocks and riding 2 up with bags scraped my pipes all the time. My girl is 125lbs. I went with the shotgun and do not scrape anymore. And the ride quality is way better.

I lowered mine. No issues and been riding lowered for 2 years. No dragging with passenger. Little stiff on bumps.

Check with BobberEvo since he has a stretched fender and can chime in. I believe he rides with his bike low as well.
