RE: LOWERING KIT

I have a lowering kit that I had on my EGC for just a couple of days. Lowers the bike from either 1 inch or 2 1/4. You use your stock shocks, just changes the angle. It worked good, but I'm looking to get a softer ride and so far haven't found anything yet. If your interested in my lowering kit I'll sell it to you for $10.00 less than I paid for it. Email me if you're interested. I don't think this kit will work if you have soft bags on your RK.

RE: LOWERING KIT

Another option is shorter shocks such as Progressive 441's

RE: LOWERING KIT

Just take care...I installed a kit like the one you're describing at the lower setting on my Ultra and within 60 miles 2-up loaded for a weekend, I had worn through the rear wiring harness and probably a couple of thousand miles worth of rear tire. Expensive mistake!!

RE: LOWERING KIT

I've got 1 1/4" adjustable on my Glide, got them on ebay from a guy out of Canada. They work great and haven't had any problems. He recommends don't go any lower than 1 1/4" if your ridin two but you can get lowering blocks that slam it down 3 in., Then you have to worry in the corners. You could take a helluva tumble in a corner or over a speed bump.
