StreetGlide has "profile" rear shock. It's lower than the UC. Front forks are the same. I put them on my UC and it lowered the seat about 1". Don't know how many cm's that is
1" = Approx. 25 cm

France go with the Ultra!!! Change the Ultra forks to FLHX forks and change out the Ultra's seat. You just lowered your scooter 2 inches!!!

I am sure you must be looking for a lowered bike for a reason. I am a small guy-5'7" at 125 lbs. Are you wanting the lowered look? If it is because of you size there are ways of making a uc/ec work for you. I also looked at the sg. I really wanted a uc. Seat mod can give you a 1" drop and there are lowering kits available-lower price than you might think. With the seat mod and droping the bike height you can get around 2" lower. Just a thought

Ultra is too expensive for me!At the beginningI was interested in a 07' RoadKing Custom but it seems to be impossible for me to get it because HD stopped it last year so now the choice for me is between the FLHR and the FLHX.
The FLHX seems too be the best choice for me but I have to think(and read) a little bite more about before ordering it, firstly because I was really in love with the RoadKing Custom, second because I still prefer the price of the 07' Custom, and third because I would prefer todrive an HD without Wind Shield on the front.

Depends on what you want to spend. Put a lowering kit on the rear of the standard and go with harley reach seat or cut down seat, but don't go more then an inch and a quarter if your riding two up. The air shocks only take a max of 35 lbs, whereas the streetglide, I believe holds 50 lbs.
