Default Lowering kits for Roadking softbags.

I can't find any. Only for hardbags. Anyone know of some place that makes them? Sure, I can change out my shocks. But I like my OEM air shocks.

Never knew they made lowering kits for the soft bags, but I may be wrong. Mine are low enough now because I have to get on my knees to dig into them. Any lower and I would have to lay on the driveway.

LOWERING a FLHRC ?
Easy have Bitchin Baggers cut your stock shocks down an inch or two. They rebuild them diffrent spring fluid . no worries about bottoming out on fender tearing up your wiring harness like with lowering blocks.
Because the BB shocks have a stop in them that prevents that .

I have 11" Bitch'n Bagger shocks . http://bitchinbaggers.com/products/drop-shocks/

Bike handles great .

Buy the way are you lowering because of looks or to get your feet flat on the ground ?
If its cause your short you might want to first consider having your Stock seat modified . I had my stock FLHRC seat lowered and narrowed several inchs buy MeanCity Cycles very thrifty way cheaper than a new low seat .
Super comfey with a little memory added .
Total cost for my seat MOD including shipping both ways was just under $150.
I have rode many 500+ mile days .
