Thanks everyone, appreciate it.

Gir, the ride really doesn't feel any different than stock. I like the feel of having it lower, you notice the difference in that aspect.

FLYING....... I like your widgets, or whatever you call them.

Fat and low is the way to go! If it was mine I would add a laydow rear plat holder and smoked lenses. $14 eBay with bulbs.

There is no question that Softails look better lowered. When I got mine it was lowered and I scraped the frame and the pipes way to frequently. I moved it back up to stock and now I will occasionally hit the pegs, but no big deal. Do none of you guys have a similar issue when your bike is dropped like that?
