Lowering a 1700 Voyager

Does anyone know of a replacement shock that can lower the 2018 Voyager?

Thanks

The cheapest, easiest and most effective method is with the original Luverne lowering links. Retain your plush and adjustable factory shocks. One simple modification to the saddlebag supports and the rest is simple bolt on installation. $149 shipped to your door, complete with all hardware and step by step instructions. Contact me at Luvernekaw@gmail.com or leave a message at 507-283-1800 and I'll return your call for more details.
Thanks
Rick

As Rick said, modifying the mounts is nothing serious:
1, before I did anything:
2, both of them off and on the bench before cutting
3, after I cut them, there was a gap at the end of the tube. Understandable because of the bend of the tubing not being 90deg and you're removing an inch of length.
4, 5, I could have welded them up by not aligning them properly but that would look..rough so instead I opted to weld the cut off pieces from the short end back on the long end
