Default lowering kit

i just purchased a lowering kit for my 2011 street glide. my question is will there any problem with bottoming out with using 1 inch kit? when they talk about bottoming out are they referring to the shock bottoming out or the tire hitting the rear fender?

If you got the rear lowering blocks, then they are talking about the tire hitting the rear fender...more specifically the wires that run inside the fender. Just re-route the wires from the top fender to the side of the fender. It all depends on the kit though...did you get blocks or new shocks?

Yeah, you should be fine. Just take a look at the wires running inside the fender.
