I swapped shocks of my nightster with the 48 and its just perfect,not too low to scrape the speed breakers.its about 12 inch eye to eye , the stock shocks are about 14" , so a 2 inch drop is just good.
After Lowering , Compare with the Iron Next to it.
I was initially looking at the 10.5" burlys and licks lowering shocks , but they might get too low for indian roads...
I am working on customizing the license plate holder,i liked the old school bobber style with indicators mounted on the license plates.i made the below design from some of the pics i found online.
The sportsters have the brake light built in the indicators,which is a good idea.i will now be able to move those just like these in the picture.
may be in the future i will get the mini indicators and get an rodder tail lamp.
