Thx Scott, I don't think I will have any problem with bottoming out, but it's good to know. I have a spanner for the regular shocks, guess I will have to invest in one for the LoBoy. Tools, we never have enough or the right one.
Peace, WD

Lowering the softtail
I used a kit from http://www.softailloweringkit.com/ and it lowered my wife's Deluxe about 1.5" without sacrificing rideability or comfort. It was quite simple to install and you DO NOT have to remove the shocks to do it... Check out their video!
Thanks for the tip and the link. I ordered a kit over the Labor day weeknd, and it was here tuesday, and is now installed. 45 minutes. Quailty parts, great directions, great price.

the $20 extensions that I bought first and are still on the bench were.
It was the fact that I had to completely remove the shock and disasemble it in order to do the same thing that I did in 45 minutes
I only wanted it about 1" or close to that. I still rides the same and YEs the boards scrape a little sooner, but then I like to do the corners, so scraping is not a factor for me.Thanks 'Blazing Bikes', Great product.

Ordered some cheapo bolts from Vms racing VIA eBay last weak. Only a month or so of decent riding here so figured I would try these first then see if I wanna step it up over winter or not. Bolts were only $20 and I pi$$ed more than that away in miller light this weekend, so I can't get hurt that much.
