What did you use to lower it, besides the seat?

ditto, did you drop it just by air pressure? or did you do something to the front forks? and what did you mean you lowered your feet?

lowerd rear with a road 6 customs kit down 1 inch, had mean city take seat apart and trim in down in some spots so i could move legs closer together, with the 09 sg frame being wide i could not get feet flat on ground. with the 2 changes i now reach ground flatfooted. not hip on the lowering blocks so next week ill be ordering some shocks from bitchen baggers that are 1 inch shorter than my current shocks. ill take blocks off and put the bitchen bagger shocks on. but for now these two changes has allowed me to pull up on a stop sign with feet planted down good an flat. i just added a little air to keep me from bottoming out. i dont think the bike can be lowerd by letting air from shock, i belive it would hit bottom all the time.
