Lowering a street glide

[Styme]

I’m thinking of buying a 2014 street glide.. I’ve had a few HD’s such as two sporters, nite train and a streetbob I am 5’5 150lbs what is the best way to lower the bike? I’m thinking 2’’

Welcome to the group....there are a couple of ways you can go about lowering the bike (ie: lowering blocks in the rear) but really only one way to do it properly (IMO) which is to completely replace both the front fork springs and the rear shocks. While the lowering blocks will achieve what you want in the rear they change the shock angle which makes it an extremely rough ride. By replacing the front springs / rear shocks, you can easily go down 1" since fork kits are available in this length plus you can purchase 11" shocks, however, going down 2" will be a challenge finding the appropriate parts.

Hope this helps give you some things to think about...

I was thinking of the burley slammer kit... or just going with a air kit with fork springs

Just did Dirty Air rear on my 2014 FLHX I really like it, had lowering blocks on for 3 years it was ok but i like the air ride more.

My lowered ‘15 consists of the 1” lowered Progressive front fork cartridge & spring, Arnott (Fox) 9 1/2” lowered air ride and Fat Baggers drop frame kit that lowers the frame 2” at the seat. All this to accommodate my 29” inseam

I'm 5'5 30 inseam and ride 2016 Street Glide. Currently have 13 inch Proaction shocks and I'm flat footed. If ur same height as me you should be able to flat foot too. Any other reason ur lowering it ?
