Hello all!
My name is Lenny True, post under LATrue.
I ride a 2011 FLHX Street Glide
Vivid Black, 103 ci, abs, cruise, security.
Bike is currently all stock with just over 500 miles...
Wife and I Love it! Will be doing some searching for posts for advice on mods....pipes,air filter,re-map/tune.....also lowering bike/seat as im a short guy at 5'4".....saw the link to this forum site while googleing drop seat kits....decided to join!
Any way the sign said new members post here to say hi.....
SO......HI ALL!
Welcome from Florida. BTW, I don't know how much you need to lower your seat, or how much you plan to spend, but there are seats that will put you a little closer to the ground, check with your dealer or a company like Mustang. Also Fatbaggers.com has a rather pricey conversion that will lower you 3", you can also look into doing progessive suspension monotubes 2" under up front along with maybe one of there 9 series shocks in the rear, that will give you a much better ride, and lower the bike. Go to the suspension and search the threads, or start a new one, you will get plenty of information.
