Not quite true... The FLHTKL is 1" lower in the front.....

 

Ah right. The low

 

i was certain on the "low" models having lower front end....wasn't sure on the others.....thanks guys!!!!

 

Have done it to 3 street Glides. No problem.

 

I lowered my 17 FLHTK 1 inch with lowering kit. No problems so far

 

I put Progressive 944s in about a year after getting my first bagger. I'll probably never ride a 13" shock again. When my foot drags over the seat getting off frequently enough, the seam of the seat rips out.
Now that it sits at 12" that doesn't happen.
Six months later I put the 1" lower front end in from Progressive and I like this ride even more.

 

Keep your 13" shocks for the extra inch of travel and use these blocks. You can get them from D&K, a forum sponsor.

 

if you have a 14 or newer and use the lowering blocks check your bag clearance mine rubbed the paint off the inside of the bag. I then bought a set of 12" take off from a Street Glide Ride even better then the lowering blocks. Much happier

 

You can also lower it a little by installing a smaller tire, i.e. 185/60/16 or 185/55/16.

 

‘16 FLHTK - I went from 13” HD air shocks, to 11” Pro Action coil overs. No issues. Plus a street glide seat that lowers me even more!
