Default Suspension Lowering

I'm a proud new owner of 2010 Electra Glide but I'm I guess what could be called a shorty and in need of lowering the suspension. I know that the factory offers different shocks (lowers about 3/4") and a kit to lower front. I was wondering if I could get some advise from riders from a personal experience point?

Welcome from north carolina. First of all check under your seat and see if you have one that says "low" on it. If you don't you, you can get one from HD, they still may be on sale. They changed seats in the middle of the 10 model year, and the low seat will bring you down some as well as being more comfortable. If you have the low seat, check out the touring section as there are plenty of threads concerning lowering, shocks, etc. The part number on the low seat is 52164-10 i believe.

You need an Arnott Air ride for your situation IMO. Email me and I can explain in more detail. This is not the right place. Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new ride too.
