I see allot of Sporties running struts nowadays it looks cool and if you can handle the ride I say why the hell not.My 11" HD Progressives are low enough and the ride is only slightly more comfy than a rigid so I'll not be replacing them with struts any time soon.

Can't wait for pics.....................the x-ray pics of your back. 
I considered this for the looks, but have a hard time ditching my shocks. Kind of gives my Dyna a certian appeal............

You're a very large masochist. But I have to say that the FXR with struts that Mickey Rourke rode in that movie looked awesome. And he ditched a beautiful naked woman, rode it hundreds of miles, and then foiled an armed robbery all in one day, so it must not be allthat uncomfortable.

I've swapped out the shocks for struts briefly... I had some handle bar issues that needed correcting but I've been meaning to swap them out again. I powdercoated mine black to match the frame... they did look pretty sweet.

First off, Tree, I'd never use the "S" word to a fella as big as you.
