lowering blocks?
But...
I put a set of 12" Hand Adjustable shocks on my 14 FLHTK. You could go a bit cheaper with 12" air shocks, and you could put a lowering kit in the front end as well, if the shocks aren't enough.

Again, GR, that's my point. Please understand, I have the highest respect and don't wish to argue with you. As I just saw, you jumped into your standard "why new shocks are the answer". Your very well read and very well versed. We all thank you for your input. But its like you sit back and actively search out shock and suspension posts so can can tell the world why they have to upgrade to the best suspension possible, rather than realizing there can be a happy medium for many riders.
They are getting good reviews on HDF and they look like a good purchase. At long last the MoCo are supplying upgraded shocks themselves and not leaving that market to others!

I have a 2007 Road King classic. I added a 3 in 1 lowering kit. I had it set at the lowest position. It looked great but as I was warned, I too wore through the wire harness that is located under the fender within the first week leaving me with zero lights in the back. I reset the lowering kit to the middle position and added some air in the air shocks and haven't had a problem since.

While at the dealer the other day I ask if Harley made a lowering kit and that was a no.
He said to stay away from L.A. Choppers as they have had many returns from breakage.
I researched blocks and bought 1" from Tamarack for $90. Very high quality and very happy so far.
I put a pair of 13" Harley adjustable's on last year but was not happy with the 1" raise. It not only made the ground reach worse it also changed the windshield height and head light to low. The headlight was already at max height so by lowering back to stock height it brought it back into my liking and the windshield higher by 3/4" which doesn't sound like much but you cant believe the amount of bugs in the face I got before and no only on occasion.
This kit keeps the shock in line with the swing arm and angles it back slightly. You will notice that Harley angled the shock area back on the bags to maintain proper clearance.
