Anyone have a 160 front on a 15 RG

I am struggling with height (short legs own me). So, since I like fat front and rear, I thought a new set of wheels, smaller front and stock rear. I know I am messing with the ride but am not chasing a hot rod cornering beast. BTW, Ive lowered front and back by an inch and no good.

Any suggestions on what someone has done to their 2015 RG appreciated.

You're not really going to gain much by going to a smaller wheel. The smaller wheel uses tires that have a taller sidewall which keeps the front at the same height.
HD went with larger wheels but lower profile tires which result in a less comfortable ride IMO but it pretty much kept the bike height the same.
If there is a low profile 16 inch tire for the front then it would lower the bike some. It may be easier to find low profile rear tires in the wider format.

Have you tried a lower seat yet?

Looking into that. They make low seats but not close reach & low. Annoying that they do 1 and not both. I have the rear and front lowered an inch. I also have a 1" progressive drop and may try that as well. I doubt the ride will be comfy. The annoying thing too is that my 2010 RGS was a better fit for me then this 2016.

Corbin does and they also can make the front part of the seat narrower. You should check them out.
