My theory is that you need all the suspension travel you an get, so don't lower it.

Get adjustable air suspension with an on-board compressor, so that when you're pushing it around you can drop the ride height, and when you're riding it, you can raise it so you still have the full suspension travel.

I used Progressives and built my own auto control system, so that it's lowered every time I stop. That's 'cos I'm 5'3".

See my website:

There are others on the forum with various air suspension systems and compressors. Haven't heard any of them complaining.

Oh, and another thing...

If you're worried about dropping it (because they're so bloody heavy), it's worth getting the "Ride Like a Pro" DVD. Yeah, I know, I should be riding a stepthru. But I've been riding for 36 years, and I learned a lot. Handling the big twins at slow speeds can be really challenging, and it's amazing what you can do after watching and practising.
