Sweet lookin' ride. How much is it lowered?
I'm still in the beginning stages of everything I eventually want to do. I considered a solo spring like that. How's the ride?
I'm pretty set on the C&C Lopro that's going to be on before it rolls out this spring. Just wrapping everything up after my cam install and straightshots.
'05 1200C 27,000+ miles/4,000+ mine on this ride. No clue how many miles on my '73 XLH
Hammer 570 cams/SERT/Dragtron II/Straightshots/12" Holy Rollers on 1 1/2" risers/Tank lift and wire tuck/a few other things thus far.

Age 54, 2006 1200C is my main bike, but others are listed in the sig line my kids ride them. Miles, I ride 12,000-15,000 miles a year. again most of them on the 1200C. Satisfaction Factor? It does everything I need, including cross country trips just fine. I had an old rider tell me once that motorcycles are like women, as long as you don't test ride any others you are happy riding the one you got. Although I've test ridden a 2018 Ultra and wasn't that impressed with it, it didn't feel any faster than my 1200C and was a big heavy pig in the parking lot. My wife won't ride on the back of the bike so I don't need anything for two up touring.

Oh yeah, 58 hell raisin' years old.
Thanks man.
Not lowered at all. Stock height up front, and 1" higher than stock in back.
Spring seat is super comfortable...I've ridden with a bunch of different ones, some are more comfortable than others. The set-up in the photo is one of the best.
Sounds like you're having fun making yours your own.
