RE: progressive 440's
Just curious. Do you think lowering 1 inch will make the bike handle that much worse ? Also I already changed my seat. i have a low and narrow danny gray seat.Im 5' 10 but my inseam is 30. My street glide I was fine flatfooting. The SG was 1 inch lower so thats the main reason im tryin to get low.

just take em off and keep the stockers plugged with the stock lines....now do this....order a 1" lowerin kit and a set of 13" 440's....you'll have the low and the travel of a longer shock....just trust me

going to a better quality shock like the 440 you prol wont find it handles any worse or be any less comfortable with an inch less travel, you'll just lose some cornering clearance. the airlines stay on the piece of crap stock shocks you throw in a corner of your garage....

Air Shocks apply a constant pressure while the Progressive Shock uses valving to dampen the ride there by giving a smoother overall ride...
With the 440's & 412's you can also adjust the spring tention to further adjust the shock tention for ride and load carring
