Dyna lowered with wider rear tire
#2
You throw a 190/60 on the rear of the stock wheel and it's going to pinch the tire on the wheel and raise the rear due to you changing the profile of the tire.
The 190 is the width of the tire, the 60 is the aspect ratio of the tire; pinch a 190/60 and your rear will raise up. Want to lower the rear you need to change the aspect ratio of the tire to a 50 or a 55...

I lifted these images from WG2011 in this thread: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...l#post13924220
He went with the Avon 190 rear and the 90/90-21 front. I don't know if he lowered the rear but the Avon seems to fit the wheel. As the width of the tire gets wider with the same aspect ratio the tire will be taller.
I run Night Dragons, stock size rear and the 90/90-21 front; the front is 10mm wider than the stock tire at the same aspect ratio so the tire is approximately 1/2" taller than the stock Scorchers.
If you do really want to lower the bike do it with the shocks, I've never been a fan of lowering blocks, they change the shock angle which will give you less shock compression to axle travel; the setback of the blocks will also add leverage and can add more stresses to the rear fork as the compression forces are pushed more rearward.
Really can't tell you how a 190 and a lowered rear will work out. If you're set on lowering you could run the stock sized Night Dragon rear and their 90/90-21 up front...

That's the bike that made me want to run the 190 rear and the 90/90 front. I was thinking lowering blocks to keep the stock shocks I like the looks of them and I'm skinny and all the aftermarket shocks I have tried are way to stiff. I even had ricor shocks on a bike valve and springed for my weight and still didn't ride as good as the stock ones do on this bike. I thought the la chopper lowering blocks keep the shock angle very close to stock

You'll just need to be mindful of the combination you're planning on using. The 190/60 will be wider and a taller tire; spooning it on the stock wheel will pinch it and change the profile and add a bit more to that height; then you'll be lowering the rear with blocks so your clearances will be tighter.
Be sure to post up some images so we can see how it turns out...

I think it looks that way partially because the camera wasn't directly behind the bike. Look at the top of the shocks and you'll see what I mean. With that said, it still looks like there could be some offset.
