Should of found a engine from the late 50's that had over 130HP that way you could drive it on the highways and interstate those had a little over 80hp and with a late 50's six it's still a Flathead it would look just like the factory engine but it would have more power to get around with ad be able to drive today's speeds. I guess you can always look for one and just put the original engine away for safe keeping.

Great video. I noticed on your car that you have a big block and I was wondering what kind of headers you have and if they are Schumacher, how well do they fit and work with your torsion bars? I have a 67 notchback I am putting a big block in it and have not decided on the headers yet. I have been looking at the Schumacher’s and wondering how well they fit.

My 2010 ultra came with the 944. Wasnt a problem until UlI started hitting mountain roads. Currently using a pair of takeoff 2023 premium adjustable shocks. At 270lbs they work great for my application. 944s i think are meant for smaller inseam riders who have to sacrifice for seat height.

My 2013 Street Glide has the worst ride of any Harley I've ever owned. There are now some local roads I avoid as it's just a miserable experience on anything other than the most perfect road surface. How did they manage to go backwards with the bagger's development? The previous air shocks weren't great but they were a damned sight better than this asymmetric kit.

I'll just add to this. I've bought a used set of FXWG shocks and it's much improved. May fit the originals for two-up touring.

I replaced the OEM shocks on my 2019 street glide in January 2023 with standard Progressive 944s. After installation, I attempted to adjust the preload for my weight of 165 plus pounds without success. With the springs opened as far as possible, when I sat in the saddle, the shocks didn't compress a bit. Called Progressive, told them my problem and they suggested I put 10-20 pound weights in my saddlebags. Wtf...you gotta be shitting me. Been riding that stiff back suspension since then. Two weeks ago I found myself riding an extremely rutty, pot holed country road in Mendocino County, CA. The bike, on several occasions became almost uncontrollable. Those shocks are history. I'm replacing them now!

I had the same problem with 944 and heavy springs, harsh ride. Normally two up, I’m 225, wife “guessing” 180 ish. Sometimes have trailer and three bags on trips. My mistake was “thinking” keeping spring soft was better, wrong thinking. That only gave 1” of travel on piston rod, no dust on rod or bumper confirmed it was bottoming out. Adjusted them full tight, all threads showing. Now have around 2-1/2” of piston rod travel allowing shock to travel farther and absorb bumps and shocks. Totality different ride now. You have to understand “shock travel”, if the spring adjustment doesn’t allow any travel, there’s no way “ANY” shock will absorb bumps. It has to have travel for the hydraulic dampening to do its job.
@freebehindbars86547 ай бұрын
Always avoid Heavy Duty springs on any shock. These shocks have limited adjustment, but come stiff. My bike rides like a caddy with 2 up or single on standard springs. Benefit of these 944’s are the -1 setup. Same travel of a 13” shock, with a 12” setup, which makes it inherently stiff.

@carnut76159 ай бұрын
I have sanded on the side of the car and they wiggle their way out without them facing down. You can deal with it for a while but becomes very annoying. You should not have to position your blocks in a certain way to make them work especially when using an x pattern vertically. If you want to spend 140 bucks and see for yourself go for it but you have seen the video, also the small block I use the most has started delaminating after the video so there is another problem, I'm hoping he comes up with a solution because the concept is great.

@@carnut7615 These cars have a bit of reverse crown at the bottom of the sail panel a bit to the rear. Looking at your blocking it appears you are removing that somewhat. The car is not flat there. It is more apparent if you look at vinyl top cars and see the OE molding shape. I don't need to post a video of my car to prove that, you can google pics and pay attention to other cars, or not. Your work looks nice and I'm sure the car will be beautiful in either case. But your long board is flattening that part.
@carnut76159 ай бұрын
You are correct they have a small dip right where I have filler in the sail panel even with the trunk filler panel, this one was extreme so I took some out, still there just not as extreme. If I had to do it again I would have cut all the rust out and patched in what was necessary in the originals because the Tiawan quarters have fought me the entire way. It was a northern Illinois car since new so I started out with a very rusty car that had already been body worked several times.

I have had the 944s for 8 years now. I have the HDs for my weight and two up. I also have the mono tubes up front. The thing rides likes it's on rails. I corner without the wobble like stock. Huge upgrade. The thing I see here, is you only changed the rear. The front stock fork setup is way too soft and the rear too stiff. If you add anything to the rear without doing the front, this is how it feels. The two fight each other, they are not a balanced system. If you have to change one, it should be the front so you better Match the rear. You will find a whole new ride when you do both. I have several friends that have done it and we all love the combo. I see this time and time again. People want to change the rear only then complain.
