Trade it in on a bike you can touch the ground with.

I put Burley blocks on the OL's for a hundred bucks.

There are those dead set against them, but we had no issues.

street glide is already lowered. get a reach seat. any lowering of the shocks will result in bottoming out.

I think the first question should have been why? Cant reach ground or going for a certain look?

Not true.

I lowered my OL's Street glide an inch both front and rear, I am 285lbs, and couldn't get it to bottom out.

I never jumped it, though....
