Default Rkcustom lowered

I want to lower my bike a few inches. I’m not a very tall guy about 5`8 and I would feel more comfortable with having my bike lowered. I Just wanted any advice on what’s out there or what I should go with. Etc: brand, how much to lower it and what’s a fair price for something like this.

A big thx brothers

I believe the Road King custom is already lowered at the back to give it the custom look. You might find it difficult to lower it further.

Could be wrong though!!!!

Your local HD Shop should have a Lowering Kit that will fit your Bike, I installed a White Brothers on my Road Glide and it was simple and took only 10 minutes and cost $90

You can use Draggin Baggers, that way you can adjust it with the flip of a switch.

I saw that you can lower the front and back with the loweing kit, but this what I did, good lluck!!
I just lower my RK with low profile shocks for the rear, it came down 1" and I put on low profile bucket seat with also help lower me to the ground, I'm 5'7", I got luck, as there as at one of the local dealer for 15% and got also no sale tax, save big, the RK fit fine now,

Changing or altering your seat will also lower you somemore.
