Lower your bagger
I found a shop that cut down a pair of stock air shocks off a 05' FLHC to 11" which I installed on my 08' SG and then I lowered the front 1". Anyone thinking about slammin their ride should check into this. Check out the web (Bitchin Baggers) Ron, the owner did me right. The lower center made the ride way better than stock.

[quote]I went with the lowering plates
I did the lowering plates too, and my scoot rides like a Sherman tank. I'm looking for a good way to lower my ride, and still have a comfortable ride
So this is an option also, how much?

RE: Lower your bagger
What are the real reasons for lowering a bike? Is is simply to help you plant both feet firmly on the ground?
I like the looks of the lowered bikes but dont understand the functionality.

I'm in the same process, lower my ride, and finding it hard to make a good choice. I first tried the blocks from Road 6 Customs, their block has 2 settings, a 1.25 and 2.25 drop. I bottomed out on the 2.25 setting, even with 20 lbs of air in the shocks, and at 1.25 setting, with 5 lbs air, I don't. But, I don't sit flat-footed any more either. At 5'8", I'm looking for a little more flat-footedness (sp?), so I'm in search of other alternatives!
