I picked up a Mustang one piece touring saddle. Seat feels pretty good....BUT!!! with my 28" inseam.... I'll need traing wheels to ride.... so??? what are my options for lowering the bike? I see shock replacement as the only option..... i know there are shock re-location kits for other brands/types?

Worse case.... I'll hawk the seat on craigslist

Thanks Frank

I have a 1 1/2 so-low shock relocation on mine, no probs with it.

 

I'm shorter than you are. My inseam is 27 and I ride a street glide. I put 11.5 inch progessive shocks on the rear and an inch out of the front end. It handles good and doesn't bottom out. I tried lowering blocks but they were awful. I didn't like the handling and it bottomed out with even small bumps. Good luck and enjoy.

 

Air ride lowering kit in the rear and a Progressive lowering kit in the front. I ride with a vertically challenged guy who has tried all sorts of shocks and various brackets before listening to me. He now dumps the air when he is parking the bike or in slow traffic than inflates it when he gets rolling. Check out riderswap.com for the rear air ride (My ad , retail is posted).

 

I just installed a lowering kit on mine. Here is a link to the write up I did with before and after pictures.

 

Put a lowered C&C seat on it and wear boots with heels. Works for my short ***! I drag the running boards enough at stock height on my Road Glide.
