Road King - Make it Lower
I am the proud owner of a new Road King Classic. I am new to the "touring" community.
I think the first thing I will do is lower the bike. I like the appearance of the lowered bikes and my feet barely come in contact with the ground when the bike is completly vertical.
What is the best way to get this done?
I will likely never carry a passenger and 75 % of the time the bags will only be packed with 5-10 lbs. of miscellaneous items. The other 25 % of the time when I may be carrying significant weight in the bags and a quick release tour pack, I will likely be traveling on well paved highways.
What value is the air adjustable suspension and how should it play into any decision I make about lowering the bike and inch of so?
I would greatly aprrciate any advice. I dont want to waste money but I am interested in an effective soltion that will serve me well into the years.

I choose Olhins shocks, this way I recieved the best of both worlds, lowering and the smooth ride of the best shocks you can put on a harley. I also lowered the front 1" using Race Tech gold valves. Good luck with whatever you decide.
