Default Lowered Stance 21/18

Good evening. To my understanding, the CVOs come stock with a 21/18 set-up. Has anyone lowered the front and rear end? If so, what method did you use? Monotubes? Spring? Clamps? Thank you for your assistance in advance! Airborne!!

The 18 CVO RG comes with 12" rear shocks, which is one inch lower than the standard 13". The Front is also lowered 1". I can not imagine lower the bike more, floorboards will already scrape in the curves.

That would cause a issue with the front fender possibly.

I went from 12's to 13 1/4 when I changed the rear shocks. Riding the mountains on the bike with stock suspension resulted in a lot of scrapping. I would not go lower.
