Many thanks for the replies and the welcomes.
Very helpful.

Shortly I will be upgrading my scooter to an 08 Superglide, and the missus will get the Sportster - which brings me to another question - since her legs are so short, we will have to lower the ride for her to flat-foot the ground.
Would it be advisable to lower the bike with shorter shocks, or by other methods IE: purchasing a lower profile seat, and/or stretching her on a rack?

Cheers.
