What shocks to use to lower rear end on a Meanstreak

[Carpie01]

Hi, new to this, would like some information/advice on lowering the rear end of my 2007 VN1600 meanstreak by 2"

I used the Progressive 412's on my old Mean Streak. I went with the 12" ones from what I recall to slam the rear down what seemed like a couple inches. A word to the wise though, you will be dragging your pegs and heels around all the corners.....if you try you can even drag your pipes. You will also bottom out pretty quickly over speed bumps and pot holes. It will make the bike look better, but you will sacrifice handling performance.

Thanks a lot for that, food for thought about dragging the pegs though. cheers.
