I vote for MCC too. They can lower your seat 3" if you want for less than $100 plus put in memory foam too boot. Add memory foam for the ol and seat heaters front and back and it's still under $500. Sme of the best mods I've done.

Hello guys,
I really need your help!
Just bought the best bike to me with the lady approval
The problem is my dealer tried to help for my height but not to complete success.
I'm short and cannot comfortably reach ground. I've got already a modified Sundowner seat but still need 1 1/2'' more.
I understand that playing with suspension got is tole but I can't see another way.
So what is in your opinion the best way to achieve while less compromising comfort ?

I put the Road6 lowering kit with good success....do an ebay search (road6 customs lowering kit). As long as you dont go too lower ( kit will lower up to 3") it does the trick well with RKs, not so much on SGs or RGs.

This system will get you a 3 inch drop while keeping the stock suspension. It can only be installed at HD dealers that are set up and trained to do the job. Not many are set up to do this yet, but I know that Kutter HD in Janesville, WI is.

A friend at work with short legs went with this system on his 2010 SG and LOVE's it.
