I've recently purchased a new 2011 Ultra Limited and after riding it a while I'd like to lower it. I'm 5'7" and my wife is 5'6". Yesterday after riding to Helen GA when we were parking my left foot went into a little bit of a dip and I almost dropped it on its side. Ride now I can be flat footed on one side and tippy toes on the other. I'd love to get it back to like my old Street Glide.
What is the best way to lower one? I've read a lot about Progressive shocks but I really don't want to lose the air ride. I also love the stock seat and do not want to drop a lot of money on a reach seat.
What can you guys who have lowered theirs recommend? Do I just buy the HD SG shocks with front lowering kit or is there a 'better' way? Can I get more than an inch out of lowering 'safely' without bottoming out?

That's the quick and less expensive mod

I'll be selling my 12" premium ride shocks off my 2014 street glide special in a few weeks. If your interested I'll take $350. They ride better than air and have hand adjustable preload (no pumps) but if you really like the air shocks you can probably pick up a set of "12's on eBay for less than $50.

I am about the same height as the OP. I got some boots with a 2" heel from Red Wing, and that is much better (cheaper) way to get your feet to the ground. That being said, I sat on a new low earlier this year, and fell in love with the ride height. I am getting the Low treatment for my bike with new front/rear suspension.
