RE:Lowering Kit
Good luck with the install. I lowered mine 1 inch and am very happy with the bike. I can get my feet perfectly flat on the ground now, and can back up the bike a little easier.
My knee draggin', footboard scrapin' days are behind me, and I have noticed no issues with anything dragging.

Watch for the tire hitting the inside of the fender when the suspension bottoms. One inch lowered won't matter, Harley does that stock on the Street Glides, etc. But when you start getting 2" (or more) less clearance between the tire and fender, especially if you ride two-up or have some heft to you, you could have some interference issues. If you have three inches of travel on your shocks, you should have about 4" of separation between your tire and fender with the bike unloaded. There's a wire harness up there on most (all?) late-model Harleys, that runs in a rubber conduit, and the tire will take it out if the tire bottoms hard enough against the fender.
