    i have a short arsed friend that rides a 1200 sporty custom [2008 ]...now she has had rose lowered to the point where she has a shitty ride,cant push her bike back as she is still sitting when standing. so im open to all ideas.

    go rigid with frame mods and a sprung seat. probably not the answer you want, but i cant think of any other way of getting the bike low enough for anyone that short

    legend/Arnott kit will get it down to 9.5 eye to eye when aired out, looking at about $1000 for an arnott kit, $1600 for a legend kit + install (although it's straight forward)

    Licks 10 inch "shocks" are 10 inch eye to eye, I have these, they plain suck and are hard as a rock. Bike looks good slammed though haha. Seat height is 23 inches on my 48.

    Lowering blocks on the stock shocks can go from 1 inch lower to 1.75inch seat height. Get these anywhere.

    Biltwell and a few others make 10 inch struts, plain sadistic.

    Nothing looks more potato than a bike with both shocks and a spring seat to me. But each to their own.
