This may or may not help you, but I have that kit on my 09 Street Glide, I have it on the 2" drop. The ride suffers alot, I do not ride 2 up ever. The best thing as everyone will tell you is that if you want to keep you nice ride get lowering shocks. The SG shocks will lower yours 1" and it will be a good ride still in my opinion. That bracket will lower your bike but some people say they are unsafe, yadda yadda yadda, it is cheap to try and if you don't like it get some new shocks.

Do yourself a favour and send your shocks to:

From what I've read and my own 2 cents, get the lowered shocks. If the SG shocks are too pricey, look at a set of 1" shorter Ultima shocks. Eastern Performance has them along with several dealers on E-bay. I got a set this summer for $149.00 shipped to my house, installed them and they not only dropped the rear about an inch, they are just as comfortable as the stock air shocks.
Brackets change the angle of the shock and add just one more bolt/item to break. Some people swear by them, but a decent set of brackets is not too much less than a set of lowered shocks.
