Just did these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2002-2012-Ha...item4cfe6b6ac2
I like-um. For some strange reason it actually seems to ride a little better.
And if I decided I didn't like, I didn't though $400 in new shocks out the window.
As far as the coment about wearing out seals.. You've got a strait piece that is mounted with two pivoting ends. The load never changes..

I installed this in 30 min. You have everything you need to put them on. Just be careful and think...
Second hole is 2". I think it should be enough. But keep in mind when you climb or descend the road-side that you are lower than before. I did not and I also had to change the kickstand's spring too, if you know what I mean. Good luck!

Lowering Brackets
I tried them, worked fine. I used them on a 2008 Ultra. No longer have the bike but I do have the lowering brackets. You want 'em? PM if you do.

I used ones like that for several months. Mine have two holes I think. First hole is 1" lower (stock Street Glide height) and the other 2" lower. I used them on the first hole. Works fine, but I got tired of dragging stuff. Mostly floorboards, but also the back of the mufflers on occasion. I took them back off. Good (cheap) way to decide if you want shorter shocks though. I think I still have them. PM an offer if you want them.

you can't use the lowering blocks on a RoadKing Classic .the change in angle of shocks won't fit in the cannels on the leather wraped bags.
I changed my 13" air shocks to 11" Bitchin Bagger Drop shocks .
They are stock air shocks cut down .
They work great bike seems to handle better .

Got the Road 6 kit too, set at the 1'' on a road glide ultra, me being 300lb and the wife about 115lb + a full tour pack...no bottoming or scraping. Granted I do throw a bit more pressure in the shocks than most, but one of the best low cost mods I've done.
