Lowering kit or change shocks
I’m purchasing a new Ultra Limited and being vertically challenged need it lowered at least one inch. Has anyone installed a lowering kit or changed the rear shock to accomplish this?

I sent my stock seat To MeanCity Cycle .
I had them lower and narrow the seat a few inchs.
Also added some memory foam for comfort.
This was super thrifty, way cheaper than buying a new low seat.
Total cost including shipping both ways was just under $150
I also replaced my 13" stock air shocks with 11" Bitchin Bagger Drop shocks
OH YA i got TALLER BOOTS

It all depends on how much you want to spend. You can buy lowering brackets anywhere from about $25.00 to over $100.00. If you want to go the shock route you could buy a pair of take off street glide shocks for as little as $50.00 or you can buy new 12' Progressive 412's for around $200.00 or buy their 940's for around $475.00. If you really want to step up to the pump you can look at Olins or Works.

Thats pretty much it....if you have deep pockets spend it....if you want a simple and effective fix go with a kit like the Road 6 Customs kit which is the route I went........(no deep pockets here).
