Good pair of lowering shocks
I am sure that it has been discussed what are good shocks to buy , but I am looking more for a good set that will also lower my sportster. My stock shocks are 12.5 inches eye to eye. I bought a set (made for lowering a dyna), that were 11 inches eye to eye. They did lower it nicely, but are way to stiff.
I would like a set that is 10.5 to 11 inches eye to eye but made for a sportster. Any advice is appreciated. By the way, my avatar is with the stock
shocks. Adjusted to the stiffest setting the ride is perfect, just want to go lower. I have short legs.

Pal of mine had an XLS just like yours, for many years! The reason the Dyna shocks are too stiff is that Dynas are heavier than your Sporty, also shorter shocks have to compensate for having less travel. Unfortunately cheap shocks tend to use stiff springs, to mask crappy damping. This is a frequent topic, so use Search for 'shocks' for a bit of background reading.
