Thumbs up Lowered Electra Glide Question

I am planning on checking out and possibly trading my Sporty on an '08 Electra Glide. How much does the HD aftermarket lowering kit (F/R) lower the bike? I have a short inseam (27-28") and will get the lowering shocks and front spring kit along with the reach seat. Does any one have a pic of their bike that has been lowered?

Thanks

I lowered the rear only and have no problem flat footing it. I'm 5'8" tall.

Here's one of my bike with a lowering kit by Arlen Ness. The front was lowered by HD lowering kit. I'm 5'4" with a 29 inch inseam. I recently put on an air ride kit by Arnott for the ability to raise for a better ride and lower when I need to. Let me know if you have any questions...Melanie
