This is complete BS. Lowering the bike an inch makes virtually no difference to handling or lean angle. Ive done it and the bike rides great... Doesnt scrape any more than it did before.
If you want to do it cheap just pick up a pair of the stock air shocks from a street glide and bolt em on.

This is complete bull product as well. Lower bikes grind a whole lot easier than standard height bikes. The lean angle is reduced therefore the machine is easier to scrape as well as the suspension travel being reduced, FACT. You just are not coming close to the actual capabilities of the machine either due to your riding style or lack of skill or both.
What you are telling someone who has no idea and may actually believe is simply your opinion and your own experience.
So for YOU there is no perceived issues.

This for the rear (better ride and still has good travel than street glide shocks):

For the front either the Progressive drop in lowering kit, or the better quality, but more work to install kit from Harley Davidson:

I did both of these on my bike. 1.5" lower rear, 1" lower front. I'm 5'6" so it helped me significantly.
