Lowering a Street Glide
Hi, I'm new to the forums and am looking at buying a Street Glide and am wondering how difficult it would be to lower a stock height Street Glide to the height of a Softail Deluxe. I am only 5' 2" tall and am looking to get low enought that i can comfortably sit on the bike and be near flatfooted. I would like to avoid using a reach seat. I would appreciate any suggestions, Thanks.

RE: Lowering a Street Glide
I have an RK Custom, which has the same suspension setup as your SG. I am also short (5'4") and hate the way that reach seat looks. I lowered the forks about 1" with the HD front lowering kit, and I installed 11.5" Progressive 440's on the rear and I use a good pair of HD riding boots to get me flat footed. Ride is very good and I do ride 2 up more than 50% of the time. One word of caution, just dont add shorter shocks AND a lowering kit, because you will bottom out fender to tire.
