Default lower Ultra

A frend of mine has an 05 ultra that has been lowered, and it is still on the edge of being too tall. 25 inch inseams!!!! What is different with a streetglide that makes it set lower? Would that help?? He sat on my 06 and it is the same as his 05 in height. any sugestions???

Default RE: lower Ultra

StreetGlides have a lowered suspension from the Factory......like the RoadKing Custom. I have a friend that is "vertically challenged" as well. He had REALLY thick soles added to his riding boots, plus lowered the suspension on his Ultra. Might have even cut the seat down a little in the thigh area.
