Burly Brand Rear Lowering Kit — 09–13 FLH/FLT | Black
Touching the ground confidently at a stop isn't a luxury — on a heavy Harley bagger, it's the difference between a relaxed ride and a nervous one. The Burly Brand Rear Lowering Kit drops the back of your 2009–2016 FLH or FLT touring model approximately one inch using a simple bolt-on design that works with your stock shocks. No cutting, no welding, no permanent modifications — just a lower, better-looking bike that's easier to manage at low speed and feels more planted on the road.
Key Benefits
Drops the rear approximately 1 inch using stock-length shocks — no new shocks required
Bolt-on installation — no permanent modifications to the frame or suspension
Lowers the center of gravity for improved stability and handling feel
Works with OEM shocks and most aftermarket stock-length shocks
All mounting hardware included — everything you need is in the box
Black finish blends cleanly with the stock hardware and chassis
Designed specifically for the 2009-and-up updated touring chassis — not a generic kit
Key Features
Bolt-On, No Permanent Modifications This kit works by relocating the shock's swingarm attachment points — moving them back and down to achieve the drop without touching anything that can't be reversed. If you ever want to go back to stock height, you can. There's no drilling, no cutting, and no need to involve a machine shop. A bike lift, basic hand tools, and a straightforward set of instructions is all it takes. Most riders have it done in under an hour.
Approximately 1 Inch Drop
One inch doesn't sound like much until you're sitting on a bagger that weighs over 800 pounds and trying to find flat footing at a stoplight. That inch makes a real difference for shorter inseam riders — flat-footing a big touring bike changes how confident and relaxed you feel every time you come to a stop. It also lowers the center of gravity, which makes the bike feel slightly more responsive through corners and easier to manage at parking lot speeds.
Designed for the 2009-Up Touring Chassis
Burly specifically engineered this kit for the updated frame introduced on 2009 Touring models. This isn't an older design adapted to fit — it was built around the geometry of this specific chassis, which is why fitment is clean and the results are predictable. Riders consistently report the blocks fit precisely with no trimming or adjustment needed on compatible models.
Works With Stock and Most Aftermarket Shocks
You don't need to buy new shocks to run this kit. It's designed around stock-length shocks — OEM or most aftermarket equivalents. This keeps the install straightforward and the total cost down, which is exactly the point of a block-style lowering kit.

Performance & Riding Experience
Riders who install this kit on their Road King, Electra Glide, or Road Glide consistently say the same thing — the bike just feels more manageable. Shorter riders who were previously tiptoeing at stops can flat-foot with confidence. The slight drop in center of gravity tightens up the feel through slow-speed maneuvers and makes the bike easier to walk in and out of tight parking spots. On the road, the handling feels a little more composed without losing the ride quality the stock suspension delivers. It won't transform the suspension performance of the bike — that's not what a lowering block kit is designed to do. What it does is get the seat height to a place where more riders can actually enjoy the bike fully, without spending big money or making irreversible changes.
Installation Notes
A bike lift or center stand is required to relieve suspension load during installation
Remove saddlebags before starting — access to the shock mounts requires clearance on both sides
Check fender-to-belt, fender-to-tire, and exhaust clearance after installation — lowering changes these measurements
Saddlebag spacing may be required depending on your specific setup
Do not use with shorty shocks, low-profile shocks, or air shocks — this kit is designed for stock-length shocks only
To maintain proper balanced geometry, Burly recommends lowering the front and rear of the bike equally
Safety Warning
Installing a lowering kit reduces ground clearance. The motorcycle will sit closer to the ground — take extra care to avoid bottoming out over bumps or in turns, especially when loaded with a passenger or luggage.
