How low can I go? 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
New to the RSC and looking into lowering my 04 midnight. I've got duals on it and was wondering how low I can go without worrying about dragging threw the corners. Within reason. Thanks for the info.

i drag . My duals drag enough without lowering the back is it a look thing or being able to stand flat footed? If its flat footed get a seat that sits you into the bike more

Strictly a look thing. Ive got some HD hard bags that I'm planning on putting on with the bad dad kit. The gap between the bags and the pipes being reduced will help but I'd like to drop it a little. I've got the freedom performance 3" black tip pipes...

I've got the freedom performance 3" black tip pipes... you can drop it all you want but it wont soak Up any gap between the bags and pipes. I have the same pipes bags and brackets on my bike (not that you can tell from the sig pic) and i have a tricky air shock. I can almost put the left tip on the ground with the.air out and bike on side stand and the gap stays the same. You will need streched bags or lower.the bags themselves to make the gap smaller
