Lowering Cvo road glide ultra

(1/3) > >>

johnmowcop:
It.s a 2011 model, I have had it from new. I love and hate it, but want to keep it for ever. I am fast approaching 72, not tall 5ft 8ins. It is beginning to scare me in tight areas, stopping and manouvering. Can I lower it at both ends by say 1.5 ins. If so what’d on I need to get.
Help would be appreciated.

hd-dude:
You can lower it an inch front and back. I would not go any lower as the ride quality will be greatly compromised.

OBB:
If you're still running that stock Hammock seat, go demo the Tall boy or any other seat that lowers you. I'm waiting to find a good deal on a used one now.

I'm not a huge fan of the air suspension systems but I'm even less of a fan of less suspension travel.  That being so a consideration might be an air suspension so you can maintain better travel while riding but lower it for things like moving it around a parking lot.

VaEagle:
This has been discussed may times in various threads over the years and some members took their seat to an upholstery shop and had the stock seat narrowed, others had taller soles installed on their boots to help with reaching the ground.
