Lowering a 2016 Road King?
Would it require any special parts? Dealer said they could lower it some, but they won't be open until tomorrow. I can flat foot it no problem, but would be a little more comfortable if it was lowered some.

Easiest thing is a lower seat. Send to Mean City Cycles,, or lower brackets / shocks next, the hardest/costliest is lower front springs, cause you might get the chrome bug and do the cans, lowers, axle, rotors, calipers, wheels, etc.

If you can flat foot now, then suggest a seat mod with Mean City Cycles as mentioned. Their Super Narrow mod will get you 1 1/2" closer to the ground and narrow the seat neck.
When I got my King, I did the Profile Low shocks front and rear to get the bike 1" lower. Then I did the seat mod. Can flat foot with a slight knee bend.
