lowered my lux
I lowered my deluxe with the burly slammer kit,after going for a 6 hour ride i cant believe how much harder it rides,i dont mind it all my hot rods ride the same way,my wife hates it,,will a rear air ride make it ride smoother then it does?
see,in the hotrod world bagging a rod does not make it ride any softer unless you use large bags and lower pressure,and its front and rear,,also i figured its still going to be the same up front being the rear is air,,,i dont have any experience with air ride for a bike,

screaming eagle heavy oil up front,but i did go as low as possible in the rear,makes sense with my wife on it at 112 lbs,air ride is next with a 21 front,i will be patient for now till it gets cold,,

+1 on air ride. Feels like riding in a Lexus, depending on the setting you use. If you want to ride slammed, tho, even air ride won't help you much. Little to no margin for shock absorption. I almost never ride it slammed. I ride at or a bit below stock height and then (usually) dump the air for that slammed look when I park it.

As for the front lowered down a couple inches. with that heavy weight fork oil that's as good as it gets.. A little bumpy, but manageable.
good luck bro-
