I am looking to lower my deluxe about 2 inches,, what do you suggest for a girl that weighs bout 115? I have a hard time backing it up and flat footing. I already had the seat worked on and that didnt make any difference hardly. I was thinking of doing it the cheap way with a kit but someone told me I would regret it,,..Will I? I see alot of you here have done that. Will it be less comfortable? harder to handle? I would love airshocks but not this year..
Well here it is, I lowered it a total of 1.5" up front and 2" in back, I also added the 21" wheel. Next up are some Samson fish tails, Heritage Springer bags, some new handle bars, and more chrome.

Just got done lowering mine front and rear, I heard that if you lower the rear you have to lower the front and vice versa. The ride is stiffer in a better way IMO. I had many concerns before I did mine and did a lot of research on here and asked a few guys for advice. I am so glad I did it, no regrets; I kind of wish I could lower it more but the streets around here are very shitty.

Looks good Santo...hurry up and get those fishtails installed!
Thanks, my dh thought the same thing, that is we lower the back we got to do the front..He is willing to do it,, I just got to find the parts at a decent price..
