Default Road 6 Customs
Has anyone tried the Road 6 Customs "2012 HARLEY TOURING Lowering kit for ,1"-3" on a 2011 or 2012 Street Glide? And if so, did it work okay?

Ive got em on my road king and they work great....but, my buddy down the street tried it on the second hole and he said made the bike ride like a hard-tail....he didnt try it on the first hole as far as I know. I think because the RG is already lower from the factory....dont know what to tell you and will watch with interest when everyone chimes in.....

Coming up on 3 years on my 09 SG in the 1st hole. Works great for me but I keep the shocks pretty stiff. I prefer a stiffer ride over a cushioned ride. Oops sorry, you said a 10-12.

Put on my 2011 SG. Set it on 1" and forgot about it. Rides great and it's very easy to install.

I have that lowering kit on my 2010 SG. Only using the first hole because anything past that was way to low and bottomed out even with the shocks set really stiff....i like them though and on the first hole i have no issues even with the wife on the back.

I believe both of these would have the 13" shocks, so second hole would be the equivalent of the 1st hole for the 12" SG shocks.
