What are you guys running to go with your 2" lowered forks? I want something good quality. Doesn't have to be a piggyback or anything.
This is 11" shocks with 2" lowered up front on an '81 frame.
They're Harley shocks. You need to do some minor modifications to narrow the shock eyelets to make them fit. Alternatively, you can get new 11" shocks from Dime City.
The popular 10.5" Rebel shocks are a bolt on, but they look too saggy to me. I might even swap these for 11.5", depending on how it looks with the seat. MikesXS sells 11.5" shocks for a decent price.
G'luck.
Did u have to shorten your kick stand with the drop?
I used stock length shocks on my last bike with a 2.5" fork drop. No weird handling issues whatsoever. No shortening of the kickstand, and it never even got close to tipping, even when knocked around by the kids.
What model progressive 11" fit?
I emailed progressive and they told me that they only have 13" shocks that fit.
I'd love to see a pic of your bike with that setup.
Thanks,
Adam
You've probably seen it before...
Anyone able to help out with this? I only weigh 150lbs myself and I don't want to shorten my spine with something too stiff so if I can get a good set of progressive springs that match my weight I'd be happy.
