Default Lowering rear on 2011 streetglide

Any one lowered there 2010 or 2011 streetglide yet? What did you use and how did it work. Thinking of using the Road 6 Customs lowering kit for now.

I used this kit...

However, I cant take the rough ride any longer so I'm currently installing the Arrnot Air Ride system... if you can afford it... dont go cheap on your lowering kit!

Actually the one in this auction is for up to 09... but they make one excatly like this one for 2010 and up as well.

Try these people out. I am going to be sending them my shocks shortly to get lowered 2 inches. Much better than those brackets or going to coil overs where you lose the air adjustability.

Yeah my buddy couldn't get his arnott air ride back off fast enough. Looks good but he said the ride is very stiff. His wife refused to ride until he changed them back to stock. He has ordered a set of progressive 412 's he hopes that will do tthe trick. Another of our friends has those on a streetglide and they ride great.

L A Choppers has a kit to lower it 1" which doesn't change your shock angle and doesn't alter the ride
