Lowered Road King performance question
I've got a lowering block from DK Customs that will lower the rear an inch and I'm thinking I'll get the lower shocks that I believe will drop it another 3/4". Right now the first thing to scrape on a hard turn is the floorboard. After I lowered the rear that much, how much lean angle will I lose? Will the bags, exhaust, or other hard parts start to hit before the floorboard?
I'm 5'6 and could really use the lowering. I also love the look.

You'll be fine. Bags won't scrap unless they are extended. Some of the 4 inch exhaust will on dips like out of a driveway or parking lots with immediate inclines. My kickstand scraps on the left before anything else. Should have mentioned that I have a 2 inch drop also. You might have to quit riding turnabouts real fast but I haven't scraped anything on normal driving.

I think being able to adjust the ride height on the fly will really help with me being vertically challenged. I'm also looking at the FBI or Bagger Werks frame mod kit.
