Any one lower rear on 2011 Glide

Has anyone used lowering blocks like the ones on ebay on a newer Glide or are shocks the way to go? Need about 1 1/2 - 2".

1" is about all the lower you can go without bottoming out on every little bump. Our rear lowering block is the most popular product we sell, but if you need 2 inches, you may want to try a shallower seat. Danny Gray seats did a thin seat for my dyna to help bridge the gap between my short legs and the ground. It worked great and I didnt have to sacrifice all my suspension.

Which glide? Road, Street, Electra? Road and Street are already 1 inch shorter.

Anyway ........ shocks are always the best way to go.

And +1 on, if it's a short leg issue...... a different seat is a good start.

Or you just might need some of these
