I don't think it is an issue. Probably some difference but negligible. What happens when you ride 2-up or load up for a trip?

Well, just for SH**S and giggles I'll mark the beam centers on the inside of my roll up garage door with painters tape prior to installing the kit on the 2" drop hole, and again after install.

.....stay tuned

I have some sort of lowering kit on the rear of mine. 1 1/4 inch I believe. It was on the bike when I bought it. It's fine, 1 or 2 up. Really wanna do it right one of these days and get new lower shocks, front and rear though. Burly makes a set up, progressive and many others.

i bought them and they are still in the box. i often thought that my cop electraglide may be too low as it is and have never even given it a try. i just got some street glide rims painted birch white and i may have to lower the rear to cover the brake dust that may get on my sparkley birch white rims. Im still nervous with anticipation to get my bike back from the dealership with these new rims on them. But after they get back. Ill give you guys the update on if im going to put the lowering kit on or not.

I went with the SG shocks first and then switched to the BitchinBaggers shock rebuild to lower my Classic a full 1 1/2".

I just ordered these lowering blocks from road6customs as well. I also picked up a pair of stock 13" touring shocks from eBay that I plan to install on my Street Glide, along with the lowering blocks. Question: since my Street Glide already is lowered 1" with the 12" shocks on it, if I install the 13" shocks, and then set the lowering block to its 2" setting, won't that be essentially the same ride height as a stock Street Glide? I'm hoping it looks the same, yet gives me a better 2-up ride when touring with the wife. Observations?
