My buddy's wife had the mod done to her Street Glide. She hasn't mentioned the turn signal issue. I'll have to ask her about it.

You say that "this kit is not for short riders", I thought that was the main reason for lowering the seat 3". Is it only for looks?

Very nice. The paint makes the side covers look the best of any I have seen with that mod.

I don't know how to multi quote so I will answer a bunch of questions right now.

I will get some full length shots this weekend. I can not seem to get camera pics to load. Only phone pics.

From what I see, the reason for the drop is mostly cosmetic. In order for a short rider to benefit, you would have to put some mega pull back bars.

I manage to reach the bars comfortably.

I took the wifey out for a lil sunset cruise action last ight. She likes it. It does seem to be a little more cramped for me due to the "setting the rider back" ...or is it that she quit smoking last year and uhh...nevermind.

We are heading to the dells tomorrow so I am sure I will have more to say on monday.

Any chance we could see you on the bike. That way we can get an idea how far you have to reach for the bars.
