Default Lowering Blocks

Does anybody have any experience or recommendations for lowering blocks on the Ultra's? I'm "inseam challenged" and put the shorter shocks on it before taking delivery. On top of being inseam challenged, I'm not the smallest guy in the world and found that the 2" of travel on the shorter shocks just didn't cut it. Thinking I need to go back to the longer shocks but would still like to lower the bike some.

I put the Burley blocks on my wife's Street Glide.

I didn't mind the ride.... and I'm 280

Or do I have to go search?

I believe people were having issues with the shocks rubbing on the inside of the saddle bags with the blocks.

Yes and no.

Read above, I put them on my 2014 Street Glide Special with no issues.

They WILL NOT work with the premium hand adjustable shocks. I put air shocks on it and they worked fine.
