I don't think there's anyway to lower it without getting intoa binding problem in the rockers, unless you do it the way we did them back in the 60's and 70's by cutting the neck and putting some rake in the frame. Maybe someone else knows different.

Used to be a kit made by White Bros., that is now Burly. It was a reversed rocker. Easy to install buton the FL springer the fender would contact acorns.
