I have a 2001 Road King Classic.
I would like to find a rear lowering kit for it.
Any ideas.
Thx

Wayne,
Just about every kit out there for touring bikes will fit and lower you but you will not be able to put your bags back on without modifications to them. If you look at the back of the bag it is a very tight fit where the shock fits and when you lower it the shock angle will change and not fit the contour of the back of the bag anymore.
Don't forget the Classic is already 1'' lower than the other RoadKings and when you lower it more and put more of an angle on the shocks it Really rides rough. Ask me how I know.

 

Actually, the channel on the backside of the saddle bag is wider at the bottom than the top, which gives you some lee way to use a lowering kit. If you have after market shocks, you might read the documentation that comes with them that tells you the warranty is voided if you use a lowering kit with them. Obviously, the leverage on them is going to cause a bit more load of them, but when ya consider it, there isn't a whole lot of weight on the shock to begin with when ya compare it a shock for a car.
Lowering kits can be found on e-bay for around $35 or so.

 

there is a company called e-glide goodies that sells them specifically for your bike. theirs doesnt change the shock angle. look em up. good luck. peace

 

Not so on the Classic that I lowered. The Road King Classic comes with the leather bags and not the hard bags. There was not any room to change the shock angle without hitting. The back of the bag is not the same as the standard hard bags.
