Default 883 lowering kit?

Can anyone recommend a lowering kit for the 2004 883?

I use burly slammer kit with has 10.5" shocks and lowering fork springs which is fine for my kind of riding. Also use Mustang tripper fastback 2 up to lower me even more.

Would probably use DK's lowering blocks and more comfortable shocks and seat if I did longer runs.

Dk's lowering blocks are great, fit great and work well.

You're gonna lose a little lean angle if you do that though. I'd only do it if you need to plant your feet better.

That's exactly the issue. Girlfriend has short legs, but makes up for it in other ways ;-)

Instead of lowering it, how 'bout one of the "reduced reach" seats ?

Just a thought....
