We suggest lowering the front 1″ with a kit from Progressive Suspension.
Keep your stock front wheel.
Going with a 21″ front wheel on a Touring model is choosing form over function.
Handling is not good.
Progressive front & rear.

What do you suggest?

Hi Allen. Your best bet would be to look into Progressive Suspension.
Shorter shocks in the back and lowering kit in the front.
There are also different seats that will help your reach.

I hardly ride anymore because I have a hard time keeping it up when I come to a stop.

Depends on how you plan to ride.
If you expect to be dealing with stop & go traffic, it would be more beneficial to install fans.
In Fla, it would be most beneficial if you can add both types of systems, if your budget allows.

Harley Davidson and aftermarket companies offer engine gaurd assemblies for virtually every year and model. The guards are simple to install but the mounts & brackets differ greatly from model to model.
You will need to purchase a kit specific for your year & model and follow the instructions.
If you have any questions or issues during installation, please forward them to us. We will help you out the best we can.
