You can get them cheaper if you just buy some used SG shocks. Not that it really matters now but look around some and you can save some cash.
Damn! Live and learn.... But, I bought my bike last september and nobody had take offs of the 09's yet. I thought I read that the 09's were re-calibrated to different rates and or redesigned so I didn't look for older models. Also the bike was too tall for me and I didn't want to wait to get it lower in the seat.

I bought a set of the Harley low profile shocks 54631-02B from a forum member and put them on my RK. Really nice to get lower to the ground and I don't notice any difference in the ride comfort. I'm pretty sure these are the same shocks as on a SG. The bike looks good to me slammed in the back. The only pics I have with the new shocks are with the bike sitting on the lift the last time I cleaned it up, doesn't realy show that well, you can see them in my gallery.
