2006 Road King here. I should have it back tomorrow with a new 21/16 combo. I'm a bit on the height challenged side and went with a new 16 inch rear on the recommendation from Rob at Hog Pro. My bike was already lowered by the previous owner, can't say by how much though. Will give impressions later and try to find out how much it has already been lowered.

how much you lowers yours in the front? u just got the hd lower shocks in the rear? like 1"?

If I were to do it again, I would go with the 16 in the rear vs the 18. Both look and ride good, and SG in lowered from the factory an inch in the rear, but for pure looks the bike looks best to me with the slighter lower 16" in the rear vs the 18". I may even swap mine out for a 16 some day. Too bad I sold my stock rims

Gliderxxx what year is your street glide? I have a 06 electra glide and want to keep my 16 in the rear with a 21 up front. I havent lowered my bike yet but i plan on it and i do two up riding quite a bit... seems like a waste of money to change my rear wheel
