Any one know of a SAFE way to lower the rear of the new 2006 FLHX = Street Glide? Lowering blocks won't work, tweeks the right shock out to far.
Have contacted progressive suspension for advice but no reply. Would rather not have air assisted shocks.

They come lowered from the factory.How much lower do you want to go?
I would not lower the back anymore without doing the front as well..

Lowering a Street Glide

Just an inch front and rear

don't do it

Just an inch front and rear

the bike will to be too low,you will definately scrape your pipes in turns,and maybe your frame.Ever touch the frame and pogo a few feet into another lane? it ain't fun!

I think 1/2 inch is all you want to go more than you have now......probably not worth the expense. If you choose to do so, Progressive 440's a re always a good choice.....

Try Legends Air ride for the rear and hd kit for front. That way you can raise the rear for riding.

I lowered my 2001 FXDL an addition inch using the progressive shocks.
Its a stiff ride but I like it

IMHO, that model is already low enough...I took one out for a ride during the local stealers open house, and It was pretty easy to scrape the pipes on the twisties....Just my $0.02

I lowered my front and it looks great and sits flat everyone that sees it loves it .I dont think you could ride it if it was any lower . I had the stealer lower it when installing black sliders it looks sweet. 06 vivid black
