I am looking at the Progressive 944 Ultra Low rear shocks to lower the bike a 1" on a Street Glide. I currently have the stock rear air shocks and had lower the front end by 1". My question is, would I need to change out the stock kick stand to a 1" under kickstand? Looking for someone that may have gone thru this situation.

 

Did you call Progressive?
That might be a good place to start?

 

My bike is lowered 1.5 inches with no problems. You should be fine. I would love to hear your review on the ultra low shocks.

 

You won't have any issues with your stand,but man them shocks ride like a hard tail. I bought a set put them on went about 5 miles and not for me,but they did make the bike set real nice

 

Yes, this was the first thing I did. They told me no. I am not sure they are taking into consideration, the front end has be lower by 1". I like to get others opinions who are in this same situation.

 

I am curious if you purchase the standard or the heavy duty spring rates and what setting did you set the shocks. I am considering the standard springs. I am trying to lower the bike to be able to handle the weight due to my height.
Thanks!

 

I lowered my front 1 1/4 and my rear 1 inch. Though technically, the bike would still sit on its jiffy stand, turning the bars to the right produced a super unstable motorcycle. For me, a modified jiffy stand was a must.

 

my rode glide custom is lowered a inch front and rear it was tippy on the side stand if the forks were not turned full left. I got a 1 inch shorter stand now no problems
