Low profile tires on my bagger?

I'm new to the forum. Owned sport bikes all my life. Just got my first harley (2005 electraGlide standard). I have lowered the front and the rear 1". Is there such a thing as low profile tires that will fit on my stock rims? I haven't looked into it yet but I was thinking this may be one way of getting my bike lower plus I think it would look good. Any ideals on this would be great. Thanks in advance!

I'm interested also, I looked into Avon and was told that&nbsp\\;it sits lower at a stand still but get taller and narrower at spead.

Low-pro tires require 18" rims which retaining basic stock diameter unless you jump to a tall 120/70-21" front.
Metzeler/Avon are "the" low-pro upgrade tires for baggers.
