07 Street Glide
I currently ride an 05 Fatboy. I am thinking about buying a new street glide. I have a short inseam. The 05 fatboy fits great at 25.5" seat height. The SG at stock height is too tall. How low can these bad boys go and whats the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance

RE: 07 Street Glide
If the 05 Fatboy "fit's great" why are you thinkin of switchin? The Street Glide is already lowered 1 inch from a regular tourer, so you can't really lower a Street glide without a crappy ride resulting. I'm not sayin it can't be done...but it kind of defeats the purpose of having a "Touring bike". I came off a 98 Fatboy to my current 05 FLHTC and the Fatboy sure did sit lower, so be carefull you don't get a "Flavor-of-the-Month" bike that you regret...just my .02....

I also have an 07 Street Glide. It's a fantastic bike, you wouldn't be dissappointed. I have a friend that couldn't flat foot with the stock seat at a dealership. I had her sit on mine, it has the Sundowner touring seat, and she could flat foot it just fine. The Sundowner, with it's deep bucket styling is much more comfortable than the stocker to boot.

RE: 07 Street Glide
you can also get the seat modified by a member of this forum, the seat mod can get you down a couple of inches.
i rode with three customized fatboys last Sunday, I was amazed how low the seat height is.
the bikes were extemely nice.
don't think you can go wrong with the SG

RE: 07 Street Glide
if you do this might as well get chrome front end kit

You can lowwer the front (there is a kit #54628-06) and the reduced reach seatwould also help. if you get it right you'll love it.
