Got a 2016 Street Glide Special, and was wondering what rear lowering kit you guys would suggest? Looking for about a 1" rear drop......

 

They will cause the bottom of the spring to rub the bag due to the angle , I have tried 3 of the most popular brands.....even the Covinton Customs .

Best bet is a shorter shock.
Drag Specialties has a Adjustable shock that will go from 10.5" to 11.5" eye to eye.
Your shocks measure 12" eye to eye.

Or if you have the cash, Air Suspension is another choice, there are also company's out there that will shorten your shocks.


Ummm I have a set of the adjustable shocks for sale in the classified section for just a little more than a quality lowering block:

Just thought I would share I too would not install lowering blocks, they have been known to provide a rougher ride and as stated change the angle of the shocks causing rubbing and fatigue to parts.

If interested in air ride

You could go JNR Designed air ride for 400 bucks. I went this route and love the ride

 

You do know its already dropped, right? You want to drop more??

 

Put the burley slammer kit on the wife's 15 sg. Rear shock length is 10.5.
She is 5' 2" and can now flat foot. You will need a shorter jiffy stand with this kit.

 

I second this. Have his Gabriel air ride on my bike and love it.

 

They are right about angle and rub on the premium adjustable shocks. But since the 2017 are all premium shocks LAChopper is working on a new lowering kit for the hand adjustable. There lowering blocks on the air shocks lower 1" straight down! So if they bring out the new block I'm guessing it will be straight down. Or look at Pro-Action shocks hand adjustable and are 3/4" lower. JC

 

looking at the JNR for my new street glide


what if anything did you have to do with the jiffy stand?

 

Bitchinbaggers is also an option
