Lowering Help on FLHX
Has anyone lowered just the rear on the SG's? How would this affect the handling? I just paid to have the front end chromed and forgot about lowering it and don't want to pay to have the front end torn down again. I am trying to get about an inch lower for us vertically challenged individuals........... Any advice would be appreciated!

The Street Glide already drags the floorboards sooner than the rest of the dressers. If you go another inch lower you are really going to have issues.

Donny...checked out the progressive shock page. No prices shown. Can you tell us price range and which shock did you go for?
