    I’m 5’5” and ride a 2014 street glide. I recommend JNR air ride with the ride height repeater. You can keep it low for around town then pick it up to hit the road and kill the turns on a cloud

    I’m 5’7” too. Same bike. Same colour.
    I put Legend air ride in the rear, and progressive suspension fork lowering kit in the front.
    I’m happy with it now. Didn’t think the front would make a difference. (2” drop). Huge difference.

      @@stephenlegere in recent times i’ve learned a lot more about suspension, i no longer run this set up i ended up ditching the drop bracket and putting half an inch of preload into it and now it leans over way easier

    I never thought of doing suspension. What I did when I got mine was get the Harley low pro seat. My back pain was gone, I was able to flat foot, without messing with ride quality at all. If you still have an issue riding it, it’s the best $300 I’ve ever spent. Plus the stitching is really nice. (Diamond stitch)

      Maples Auto Sales one of my future in vestments is a gel seat I did look at the low pros and they’re nice but with these new shocks it gets rid or the rear wobble in turns cause they eliminate the bushings and use a uniball instead slowing the rear to move more freely instead of fighting to stay in place

    I did Legend RevoA in the rear and Progressive drop ins for the front. Save the Legend money; maybe even for the rear for your baggers? I’m not sold on the extra few hundred over the similar Progressive option.

      streetglides come with fairing mounted mirrors but they suck and have very little adjustability so i threw on regular bar mirrors like every other harley model i recently took off the fairing mounted ones but there’s a small hole for the mounts now

    What Brand lowering bracket did you go with? I see the shocks are the Legend Revo A’s

  • @ut1004bp
    @ut1004bp 2 роки тому

    That adjusting the preload that you did raised the bike, and that "one little click" changed the way the shock responded to a bump.. Those lowering adaptors put your shock in a comprising position, which is a incorrect angle for proper operation.. You would have been better off buying a 1" shorter shock, and forget the drop adaptor.

    Custom built shocks only cost between 2 and 3 hundred bucks. Why all the fuss? If you can't get your jack under the bike, just pull the front wheel onto a couple layers of plywood. Again, why all the fuss? My CVO is lowered much more than your bike, I am 5'6". Custom shocks, and no problem getting a jack under it. Why all the fuss?

    Lowered shock or a lowering kit, not both. And those lowering brackets suck, they ruin shock angle and ride sucks. 10.5” shock is as low as you can go.
