ok ok i know this is a question that has been asked a million times but please forgive me and help me out. i have 2006 road king flhr would love to lower the rear just about an inch, did my own seat mod turned out pretty good , but im talking about what kind of shocks i can use, i ride 2 up most of the time would like to be a bit lower to feel more secure. any help would be great. i know this is the place to ask with all the knowledge i have seen. thanks .

 

Take a look at Bitchen Bagger Shocks out in Phoenix. Great people to deal with. They take your existing shocks and cut them down. I have an 08 Street Glide and run 10 3/4" long shocks from them. If you ride 2 up alot you might want to try their longer ones. You can send them your shocks or buy shocks from them then send yours in. There are a few ways to do it. They ask you for your riding style, weight, two up or not and will pre adjust your oil weight as well as springs and then you can adjust them like you do your stock shocks. Keep in mind any time you reduce your shock length you reduce your ground clearence so it's some what of a trade off. But speak to them , like I said real easy to talk with and a great way to achieve a lowered bike for not alot of money.

I went with the 11" street glide shocks. got them from a local shop for $100. lowered the back end an 1" from the 12" road king shocks.

 

Yup, i had the SG shocks added to my RKC. Took it down that 1 inch and not only looks better, but my feet sit flat on the ground now!

 

what year sg shocks? and do i still have to worry about them bottoming out?dont want to have to worry about tearing the wires out from under the fender if they hit.

 

you gotta get the ones that match your model year. I changed the oil from a 5 to 7 wt. didn't really notice a difference, but the shop suggested it. I don't have any problems with bottoming out. i keep the pressure in the shocks correctly adjusted.
