Ok so I'll keep it short (sorta)
I have no idea for how many years I wanted this bike. I like the old look so a new one was out of the question (I'm sorry but it does look like a ducati) Anyway I'm not here to discuss this.
I found one (used) at a dealer not too far from my place and I went to test it. I was sold.
Unfortunately the guy wouldn't take my Harley back so no deal.
2 years after (august last year) I sold the HD and started looking. Found my dream bike in Ohio and I tried to get there to test it but TWO snow storms (one in CT and one the following week in OH) stopped me. I had the bike shipped to my place.
Took a while but then it was finally in my garage.
Problem. I cannot lift my leg enough to sit on the "**** thing" (panic)
Ok, found a guy in NH and sent him my seat to "work the problem" . He did quite a good job, although it took me 5 months to have the seat back.
Nope.
Still can't get on.
So here's the question.
I've heard of lowering kits and stuff....which one would you recommend? I saw some 444 progressive shocks (11,5 heavy duty) at almost 800$ here
What would you suggest? Would that work? Should I consider also change rear tire ( I saw a couple of old posts here about it) and what about the front?
All your help is GREATLY appreciated!!
Thanks
