Street Glide kick stand and lowering
I have a 2010 Street Glide. Being vertically challenged I am installing Progressive 430 shocks on the rear (1/2 inch shorter from stock) and for the front I purchased the monotube lowering kit (1 to 2 inches) .....I am only lowering the front 1 inch. My question is has anyone tried this and if so did you have to replace your kickstand. I had a fatboy lowered 1 1/2 inches and had no issues but no sure about my bagger .....DISCUSS

yeah it's hard to say how much for sure. Probably lowered the seat around an inch. I am 5'5 and tried the lowering blocks which worked but I didn't like the shock angle. I can now flat foot pretty easily. You just need to be aware that you may bottom out with a passenger. My wife and I are around 310 together. It has not been a big issue for us. But if it happens it will eventually cut the wires under the fender. Good luck.

Lowering bike
I've got 10 3/4" bitchen bagger shocks in the rear and 1" lower in the front. Bike sits alittle more up right but I never had to change out the kick stand.
!8" front wheel and 16 rear wheel.
