Default Lowering the rear of a 2010 SG

I'm looking to lower the rear of my 2010 SG one inch only. Does anyone make a coil shock that is adjustable or is just one inch lower? Really don't care for air ride, the less things to leak air the better for me. Any suggestions?

2010 Street Glide with Zipper Performance 120ci and Baker DDS7 tranny

there are many options and you could look at existing threads. comparing cost and results from different vendors.

there are even lowering blocks on ebay for $16 + ship- these will retain your shock travel but change the angle of the shocks

or you could get a custom altered & tuned set of shocks for $600+

Your bike only has about 2" of shocks travel at present, so any lowering you do with your shocks has to be done with care, to retain decent ride comfort. If you are doing this to improve your reach to terra firma there are other things to consider, such as a lower seat, thick-soled boots, etc.
