Here's some good info. Seems to be the ride isn't as good if you lower it. Try to raise your feet (bigger heel on boot). JMHO

Before you lower the bike try thicker soles and heels. It's a lot cheeper to have your boots worked on and the bike will still handle like it is supposed to.

HDDon's suggestion might sound strange but it worked for me. I had thicker soles and heels put on my boots primarily because of the height of my Goldwing and not my Road Glide. However, it worked for both and now much easier to balance both bikes at stops. You might also try out a Sundowner seat. My perception is that it lowered me slightly without pushing me forward.

I wish I could remember where I read about it; however, there is a kit out there to lower the stock seat without modifying the ride height of the bike. I think it was in the Iron Butt magazine. I can't recall the manufacturer. I'll check out the magazine this evening when I get home... if it's there, I'll post the name. Seemed like a great way to do it, albeit... $$$$
