What did you use for a kickstand??... mine sits way up straight with the burly kit on and a good wind could blow it right over... Len
Good luck with the install. I lowered mine 1 inch and am very happy with the bike. I can get my feet perfectly flat on the ground now, and can back up the bike a little easier.
My knee draggin', footboard scrapin' days are behind me, and I have noticed no issues with anything dragging.

On a 2012 the kickstand mount is different.. it's part of the floorboard mounts..

All went fine today no issues no bottoming out and it handled quit well,the only thing that I didn't think of till tonight was readjusting the head light down,but that's no biggy.The kit was from Road 6 . It was a good test the roads in Philly are real shitty.

When removing the shock
did you have to remove the air from the shock before installing the lowering blocks?
I want to put my kit on tomorrow but I don't know if I have to relieve the air pressure on the shock before removing it.
Thanks
Your bike looks sweet!

Another heads up: my friend lowered his Road King 2" and the little bit of bottoming out he did caused him to wear through the wire cluster on inside top of fender, shorting out his lights.
