i have seen them they bolt on really easy, i was at my bike shop yesturday and the mechanic was saying that those kits put your shock at a differnt angle which is bad for the shock i do know alot of people use them but my guy said the right way is to go with a new set of shocks which is 500.00 by the way. if you do use them let me know what you think

I have the solow lowering kit that I installed over the winter. As of now the bike sits about an inch lower than my father in laws stock SG and its noticeable. I took a trip to NC and did alot of twisties and had no problem with the clearance on the turns. So if you decide to do the 11/4 inch drop on street glide that will bring to about 11.25 inches where my bike is at 11.75 inches

I rarely do ride 2 up becuase my wife rides her own bike, but if my wife does, then I throw the tourpak on as well. I make sure I have enough air in the shocks (about 20 to 25 lbs) and I do not get any buttoming out at all and the ride feels the same as solo riding. I also recently went on NC road trip with the tour pak loaded with clothes for me and my wife for two weeks figuring probably over 100 lbs in total weight including the weight of the tour pak and had not problem as far as buttoming out or riding the twisty roads. It will buttom out two up if you do not have the right air pressure, but that would happen to stock shocks as well if you run them too soft. But I do not know how it would be on the SG, due to the shock being shorter than stock RK shock to begin with and you will put you half inch lower than mine.
Hope that helps.
