Default RE: slammed it

Actually you can drop a roadglide to where the low side exhaust is only 4' off the ground and the bike is still stable
my problem is tire to fender clearance

They used a different k-stand on my fatty to compensate for the lower height.

My last one was a fatboy I was able to get that seat height down to 22' and had to use a shorted kickstand
but the roadglide is alot different and it sits right and stable

I have a 28" inseam and found the Roadglide to ride a little high for me but I'm perfect on my Street Glide.

Just a thought.

Primo: Thanks....I might look at that shock length I believe the street glide uses a 12' shock..if I take of my legend and put on
a shorter shock has to be stiff though then put a 1/2' shorter tire I still will be able to maintain 1 1/2 inch of tire travel before
tire to fender rub
thanks

I'm 5' 5" and 11.5" Progressive 440's did the trick for me.
