New or Used LS shocks? (Curious about cost, actually)

Also replaced the rear brake pads with some EBC semi sintered pads and adjusted the tune with a higher AFR on the low end and a lowered the AFR on the high end due to low end popping and sluggish top end. Gave a bit more advancement in the high end on the spark table as well.

Front fender spoils that bike. If you slot the mounting holes in the fender you'll be able to move the fender closer to the tyre as well as make the fender more concentric with the tyre. Need minimum 3/8inch clearance between tyre and fender to allow for tyre growth when rotating.

Sort of like high heels for your long shock Dyna.

That lift block's clever and pic looks believable.
The stillettos look too good to be true.

I didn't ride far or hard yesterday but I could feel a difference over sharp bumps and it felt more sure footed in turns.

Good job, mate. That looks great and you've got safe clearance between tyre and fender.
I didn't mention before as I thought you were intending to paint the fender but I should've pointed out that when you elongate the mounting holes you will lose paint. I touch up with nail polish or model aeroplane paint. Don't need much, just the inside of the hole the thickness of the fender mounting tab. Mainly for rust prevention. You won't see it when it's mounted.
