I've got a lowering block from DK Customs that will lower the rear an inch and I'm thinking I'll get the lower shocks that I believe will drop it another 3/4". Right now the first thing to scrape on a hard turn is the floorboard. After I lowered the rear that much, how much lean angle will I lose? Will the bags, exhaust, or other hard parts start to hit before the floorboard?

I'm 5'6 and could really use the lowering. I also love the look.

 

PS It is a 2015 FLHR.

 

You'll be fine. Bags won't scrap unless they are extended. Some of the 4 inch exhaust will on dips like out of a driveway or parking lots with immediate inclines. My kickstand scraps on the left before anything else. Should have mentioned that I have a 2 inch drop also. You might have to quit riding turnabouts real fast but I haven't scraped anything on normal driving.

 

Be sure to lower the front also, made it a bit easier for me with both dropped.


Same issue I had. Pulled my Monster Ovals off, now my boards drag. I going to install the Monroe MA785 air shocks from reading the DIY posted HERE.

I think being able to adjust the ride height on the fly will really help with me being vertically challenged. I'm also looking at the FBI or Bagger Werks frame mod kit.

 

I suggest this first and get a seat mod if you haven't yet before doing the extra 3/4".
