Default lowering a SG

i have read somewhere that you can lower the SG another half an inch with different shocks. What shocks would these be?

Also the front end how much can it be lowered? Who makes a good kit? I will need at least 1 1/2"

You can lower it 1/2" with progressive 11.5" 440's. I did-I also lowered the front forks 1" with HD springs. It should be noted I have an RK Custom, not an SG, but the suspension setup is the same on both bikes. I don't know anything about the lowering kits.

You can get lower Progressive shocks for the rear and 06' HD profile lowering kit for the front. Hope ya like sparks! No way I would lower the rear any further unless ya like to pose more than ride.

Well I am only 5'6, and I could use another inch TRUST ME!!! But a 1/2 inch with a little stiffer air ride might work.

FOr the front I am going to need at least an inch in the front as I am installing a 21/18 combo set of wheels and have heard that you will need to lower the front an inch for the height difference.
