Default slammed S.G.
Rode around today. Never see any lowered Street Glides. Saw one today, going the opposite way. Looked pretty cool.....so how is it done and what's typical, 1" 2"? Any adverse affects?

Can you guys include pics, if possible....... thanks!

Any issues with grinding in turns with a lowered rear end? Especially with aftermarket bags?

Yeah, what are the side effects? Poor handling? Harsh ride? No one is disappointed they did it?
