the street glides are already lowered one inch from the factory. if you use shorter shocks, you're going to further reduce the suspension travel, and ride quality.

try going with a different seat before you start monkeying with lowering blocks, ride geometry, etc...

also, how short are your dad's legs? I run a 28 inseam and while I can't flat foot, I don't want to degrade my bike's performance any. I've just gotten used to it, and I pay attention to how I park. if the parking spot slops downhill any, back in. if it slops uphill, the pull straight in.

HD part number 45500157 lowers the front 1 inch. Made for HD's like the Street Glide that already have the lowered rear.
