And, there are cheap products that fade with minimal sun exposure...I wouldn't buy these again. Some of the powder coated aluminum fork covers look pretty slick.

i got the 12" ones. The ride height is 1" higher. It corners better, it takes the small to medium bumps much better. but they can not deal with deep potholes as the shock is only limited to 2" of travel. That is an indian issue and not a shock issue

Can you please post the part number for these from Amazon? You Got the 11 1/2", right? And you said the ride height is lower than stock.... that's what I'm looking for. Do you think the ride height would be even lower with the 11"?
@mikeonabike8969
@mikeonabike8969 4 ай бұрын
Part number 444-4063B 11.5 HD Sportster shocks. Yes, the ride height was lower than stock. I would assume the 11's would be too short, but honestly, I don't know.

Sorry you couldn't hear. I went back and listened again and thought the audio isn't good, I didn't have any trouble hearing. Anyway...the fork gaiters I bought were the 39mm from Biker's Choice. I WOULD NOT, buy them again as they faded to a brown just from road time - this bike is stored inside.

So question. I did this mod and even max preload I'm a quarter inch under the recommended shock length. Have you had any issues from this. Ride is great and your install was solid just worried that the shocks are bottoming out to much. Also I think a good thing to point out is this may remove the ability to ever ride 2 up. Unless you go with the heavy duty ones but then if your light weight it may be rougher 🧐 Great video thanks for not being afraid to think outside the box and try something new.
@mikeonabike8969
@mikeonabike8969 Жыл бұрын
Thanks. While I don't bottom-out, I have found that I scrape the case more often than I used to. Thanks for pointing out the 2-up issue. I would not recommend this if you ever have a passenger...in fact, the more I ride these, the more I don't recommend doing it. I'm looking for another shock at the moment.
