I put a 2" lowering kit in the rear and a 1" lower progressive spring kit in the front, still rides about the same as stock but it sure does handle better, even with the wife on the back, no problems just adjust your shock pressure.

The best you will do and retain some rideable comfort is a custom seat. C&C makes great seats and are pretty much as low as you can go. They are somewhat firm but the position you are in on the seat makes the difference. It will break in over time also. It sorta buckets you in. I love mine.

I have the lowering blocks from road6customs on ebay on my 2010 RK. I've run them on 3 bikes with good success. I only use the 1 and 2 inch holes from fear of damage to wires under the fender. Also you have to be careful with the spacer they send for the top bolt. In the second 2 inch lowering hole, your shocks might rub your saddle bags. I can't tell they effected the ride any, but it does handle better lowered. You will drag your floorboards with it lowered 2 inches if you lay it over hard in the twisties.
