RK shocks
Ok so if any one is thinking about this... DO IT, it is heaven I just finished and my god it was worth every penny I spent... Highly recommended and very easy to do. Although use a lift I pulled a dumb@$$ move and did not have a lift took both shocks off at the same time not thinking at all and the bike fell no shock means swing arm collapse it was not fun at all and it helps to have help other that I had fun doing it and very easy

The street glide shocks are Harley's low profile shock for the touring model , shortest they make 12" I believe

Since those are air shocks, where do you rig up the air fitting so you can air up the shocks? Is it just a tube that is tucked away somewhere?
I assume these gave the bike a smoother ride, but how did it affect the handleing? Better? Worse? or no change?
Some detailed pics would be great!
Thanks!

I have been running the 13" airshocks (ultra or RK) on my sporty for years. Believe it is the first mod I made...cannot stand the ride with the stock shocks.
Using schrader valves on each shock, keep about 5 lbs in em.
