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.
i’m going to do race tech cartridges on the front i haven’t used anything beside these legends and the stock shocks in terms of rear so i can’t speak on other brands personally
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
I just bought the 2020 streetglide, I’ve had 3 so far I’m looking to lower mine a lil.im gonna look into this set up how much was it?And do you live in the high desert California like Hesperia?i grew up there lol
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.
I just put a sadleman on my 21 street glide with legend revo A now my bike is 3 inches higher man I can barely touch I don’t know what to do I love the seat but now I can’t touch. This sucks
@@ut1004bp 2021 street glide I got the born scum custom sadleman road sofa LS I believe 12inch legend revo A on the back. It’s so high now I’m tip towing. Horrible
@@ryanr4181 yea, I also havea 2021 street glide, but you need to sell the sofa, , and find a 2017 or later OEM Road King seat and try it..besure to raise your back tire off the ground and measure your rear shocks, then be sure to adjust the rear shock for proper sag ..12" shock should sag 5/8-3/4" with you seated... If you have 13"shocks, you might want to go 12".
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.

Did you do the front aswell?

You're a good dude. Thank you for the video.

Great riding weather video!!!
Great video... Just curious as to why you have two side mirrors on each side?
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
@@bobbyromo69 Oh ok... I've see people put tweeters in those hole locations to utilize the space. Something to consider.
seen your video. where bout in the high desert are you. im over here by spring valley lake.
Good stuff man. Ya I’ll be looking for shocks soon for my bike. I’ll be need comfort though not height.
Nice you are getting it figured out.
The legends suspension rides like a dream I’m doing them on the front soon but it is a very costly test
nice i been looking for something to do to my street glide as far as lowering vs air shocks i might give these a looksie
I have a 2012 StreetGlide. 1" lowering brackets, and Drag Specialities 13" shocks. Much better than the OEM air shocks.
I just bought the 2020 streetglide, I’ve had 3 so far I’m looking to lower mine a lil.im gonna look into this set up how much was it?And do you live in the high desert California like Hesperia?i grew up there lol
Never mind on the price lol just heard you say the price
chuckymonster1000 definitely worth the investment I recommend it to everyone who buys a new bagger
What Brand lowering bracket did you go with? I see the shocks are the Legend Revo A’s

What kit is that??? I just put on a sadleman seat now I’m 3 inches higher I need something like that???
Can you link me to the shocks bracket and your pegged saddlebag guards
Isnt the factory shock a 14 inch?
Do you have a video of the initial drop install?
Should put the stock shocks back on with the lowering kit sell those for the money
Nah the stock shocks ride like shit trust me if you invest in legends suspension you won’t go back to stock shocks
Right on bikes badass
Go with Wilbur shocks self leveling
What year is your bike bro?
Dude nice video I want to lower my 2015 street bob I have the same shocks as u
Thanks I love the dropped look I have and people always comment on how much lower my bike is love it
Legend tells you not to use lowering blocks with their shocks

Why all the fuss on your comment bro
@@mram7715 It was just for you.
@@FernandoChaves glad you were able to get some control bud
@@mram7715 LOL!
Do you think it will bottom out with a passenger?
I don’t think I know it will 😆😆😆
Trust me when I say it’s definitely a style over comfort thing
Clean foot, dirty foot. Never put both feet down
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.
