Sometimes you get some handling issues with lowering just the rear IE. a high speed wobble while cornering but I've found firming up the rear end goes a long way toward fixing this.

 

double tap..

 

Thanks guys for your input, I do like my bikes LLOOWW but I also like the chop look with rake.With the back end lowered and the angle finder on the forks tubes it reads 40 degree hate to lose that.....it alreadys sits up pretty dam straight on the kick stand.

 

I lowered my rear, than did my front it handles alot better plus looks bad ***, but as you can tell there is two camps here

 

I'd leave it alone personally. I think it looks hot as hell the way it is. I love the new style wide glides. I wish I could afford a second bike because I'd get one.

 

blacknsilver- nice ride! Just wondering what kind of front forks and tire and wheel combo you have on your bike?

thanks behr

 

Level unloaded isn't the same as level with you or you + passenger on the seat. I'd say sit on the bike with it upright and your full weight on it and check again.

I mean, it looks just fine now. But what about while going down the road?

 

lower it

 

Decided to install the progresive drop in kit, its been sitting on the work bench...anyway install was simple took less then an hour and the springs are of a much higher quality then the factory HD's. Installing the 1" spacers lowered it 1" looking at it seems much lower! I went out for a drive the handling is a lot better with less dive under braking.

 

Leave it! Back end slammed looks great!
