Just to throw you a curve ball, have you considered an EG Standard? The StreetGlide is dropped, I believe 3/4" at the factory, probably using harleys lowering shocks, but I can't say for sure. If you gat an EG Standard you could drop the *** 1-1/2" using a SoLow kit, and retain the better ride of the longer shock. You would also have a similar profile as the streetglide. Just a thought to confuse you a little more. Good Luck
