Need to Lower FLHR

(1/4) > >>

BK:
I am giving my wife my old  2005 Road King. She is 5'5" and I need to lower the bike for her. What would be the best way to do it and maintain the comfort.  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

DCFIREMANN:
White Bros lowering kit for the front and a set progressive 440's for the rear1 to 1.5 inches shorter.

Be Safe

THE DAWG

BK:
I was looking at the progressive 412 HD series 11.5" for the rear. Still not sure about the front.

JCHAROS:

Yeah, 'er 'uh, BK,
  How ya'll doin', Man?  I think the 11.5" 440 HD's, will fill the bill, without messin' with the front-end.  Lo-Pro Seat would be a hell of alot less work, and probably less expensive, too. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  Lowered Front-end might look good, but more trouble than it's worth, IMO.  Like dents in the Front Fender, right under the brake-line block that's attached to the bottom triple-tree. :'(  Or, you'll see the bottom of it bent, and wonder how that happened. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  This is not just inclusive to aggressive Riders, either.  Ask OTIS.  Also, you have to be careful not to dog it down too tight, if you haul it.  Not Good!  Good to hear from you!  Later--HUBBARD
