would that be the same price for touring models.

 

Looks like I'll be calling in a couple of weeks.

 

Touring model is two shocks with twice the parts and more involved machining, we are is So Cal, so you are welcome to check out touring shock and our facility. We can figure out a discount price, JD 3233594914.

 

Ordered mine yesterday!

 

Ordered!

 

I recieved mine this past Tuesday. I can't wait to get it installed. I'm waiting on a chrome pulley cover so I can go ahead an install the chrome swing arm I bought last year. J.D. Thanks again. Photos will be posted after install.

 

Started on it today and discovered that the bushings/grommets that the Progressive 422s use are different from the stock ones. And of course, no local dealer has them in stock, so I'll be waiting a week to finish things up.

I'd forgotten what a pain in the *** is is removing the splash guard with the rear tire on. Shocks came off reasonably easily with a squirt or two of PB Blaster and a 4' breaker bar. Had to run to the hardware store to get a bigger T-handle to tap the holes in the transmission, but that went relatively smoothly. I had to move a bundle of wiring to get the compressor where it needed to be, and it's smack up against the oil drain line now, but I think that'll be ok. I may yank it off and spray it black if I'm feeling zesty this week, but I don't think it looks bad as is.

Tomorrow I'll run the wiring and make all the connections, then bolt up the back side of the shock. I'll have to figure out where to mount the relay, as I've got no room left under the seat.

All in all, not nearly as bad of a job as I'd thought, though it would have helped having the correct parts and tools.

 

I got it all finished up today except for the missing bushings & grommets. It was a stone-cold bastard getting the right rear shock bolt back in. I'm assuming it'd be easier with the wider rear of the '06+ bikes. The wiring's all done up, just need to re-tie some stuff on the lower right frame rail I had to relocate for the compressor. I'm not crazy about the bends in the compressor line when the shock's in place, but no one seems to have an issue with it so I assume it'll be ok. Gotta say it was a happy coincidence I had the Lowcat's muffler off for an unrelated job. That gave me a ton more room (though the damn toolbox was in my way).
