Default Road 6 Customs

I put on a lowering block kit. And WOW my bike handles so much better. And that "BAGGER WOBBLE" is GONE..................... Harley should have built the bike this way because it is like night and day. hugs the turns much better. So if you are thinking of doing this I say do it.

How low did you go? I put the Road 6 Custom lowering block on my 07 ultra in the second hole and bottomed out and cut the wiring harness. I have rerouted the harness on top of the fender, but I am still concered about any position except the first hole.
I did not notice any improved handling, but I was more concerned about being able to touch the ground. I only road about 50 miles befoe I moved it to the first hole.

Had a friend destroy his wiring harness on his EG Classic lowered all the way down with this kit, better move yours or you will eventually do the same...

I rode 200 miles so far and hit a few BIG potholes and no bottom out problems. I will not be riding two up in the lower setting.
