Default Bitchin Baggers shock mod vs. Street Glide shocks

Just wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to compare stock shocks modded by Bitchin Baggers to the stock Street Glide shocks. I mean lowered shocks are lowered shocks. Shorter shocks mean less travel and quicker to bottom out. Is BB doing anything to the shocks when modding them to the same length as the SG shocks that make them any different than the actual SG shocks???

Been considering shocks from them too, last week someone posted that he had some Bitchin Bagger shocks and the bottomed out when hitting a bump, I dont need that kind of aggrevation, went through that deal on my lowered Rocker. If anyone else has experience with these shocks please chime in.

Hmm, wonder what kind of drop he was running and what kind of air pressure. I was considering going with a set from them. Im running 2" drop progressives right now. With me and my wife on the bike gone over lots of bumps and railroad tracks, never bottomed out. Couldnt imagine going much lower then 2" though.

I have a set of Bitchin Bagger 11.25" shocks on my Roadking Custom. When they build the shocks they will change springs to taylor them to your body weight. My shocks ride about like stock RK custom shocks out on the highway but seem the bottom out on the bump stops quicker (makes sense with shorter travel) when hitting bigger bumps on back country roads.
