Ebay lowering kits

Anyone here have one or tried one? Spent money on other things this year for the bike so I am looking for a less expensive way to lower it.

Are you looking to lower the front or back of your 'Glide?

You've got hard bags, so rear lowering blocks will work just fine.....40-50 bucks max

I bought a set on ebay that lowers 1"or 2". You can place it on two with only the rider on a SG.....I have done it. Two up on my bike is a definate "NOT" at 2" , so I set it at 1" and its fine. Been that way for 5500 miles. No ill handling or harsh riding effects. I run my air at 35 with just me (180 lbs) and 45lbs with the passsenger.

Your bike is 1" higher than my SG, I would be willing to bet green money you could go to 2" on your bike.

I'll see if I can find out which one I have and reply to this post, It has two holes for the lower shock mounting bolt. Easy to change if you have a bike jack and two 3/4 inch wrenches, You can change height in 5 minutes. I just place mine on 1 " and forget about it.

EDIT....I bought from this guy, at the time the lowering block only allowed 1 or 2. Same guy though...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Harle...Q5fAccessories

Thanks for the info I bought the road6customs looks like a good product we will see when I get it. I can't wait to lower this thing for backing and also think it will look better. Just wait on it and my fullsac dual kit to arrive.
