I lowered my 07 LHRCI 1" in the rear and 1" in the front. I used the Harley shorty air shocks rear, and the cartridge set-up in the front. Not really that much difference in seat height. 1" +-. What worked best for me was the Harley reach seat. It dropped me about 1.5". Combined they put my butt2.5"+- lower to the ground. Finally I can "flat foot it".

best to lower both ends equally. changing height on one end only changes the front end rake (Geometry still is alive).

 

Which makes me wonder why Harley installs Profile Low rear suspension on Street Glides and sells the front end lowering kit as an option.

 

What is your seat height now? I have a 07 electra glide that has been lowered from and rear. I will compair just let me know your height.

 

I placed 12" 's on the back..."works"...and went with a corbin closer/lowered dual touring ...and am trying to decide is it worth the effort /cost to drop the front end the 1.5 inches that a Harleyor a Progressive kit may give....I can not see the front dropping the seat height like the lowering the back did....not in the same proportion anyway?
I am hoping some one on has an idea because I know that a lot of have dropped the front end.

 

the seat makes a diff.......I dont know what the corbin is sitting at...L
