Yeah, thinking shocks ...and I just ordered a super reduced reach seat. It got me close. But I really need one more inch with the seat. So I thought about block down one inch and buy way better shocks. That's where I'm at. Idk I'm 5'2"

then I say you might just get a lowering block for cheaper and stick with the stock shocks for a while, since you got a reduced reach seat.

Oh yea, One thing I wish I did sooner on my bike was get the crank case breathers not venting into the intake! My throttle body was disgusting from the factory set-up and less than 5000mi on it.

Ok thanks, crank case breather will look into. More research. Lol I've never read as much as I have these past 6 months. Lol I'm kinda going at this alone ...but I'm getting it. Lol

Another option to get you flat footed in addition to a lower seat would also be a narrower seat so that your legs aren't splayed out. I would certainly look into other seat options before I started lowering the bike.

Shotgun Shock is an air shock system that is very popular in the Softail subforum.

I have them on my bike but for ride comfort, not looks.
