Took it out for the weekend.
Well I got my new shocks put on Friday after work and decided toput the bike through the paces this weekend. I recently installed my inner/out primary covers earlier in the week to resolve a leaking issue and now have my black 11" Progressive 412s installed. The shocks really finished off the rear end look of the bike, and the ride wasnt as stiff as I had expected it to be. I was quite qorried about scrapping in the corners as I was used to my stock 12.5" shocks and the given ground clearance...its still early with the new parts, but I wasn't scrapping anything this weekend.
Here are a couple photos from my riding;

Hey HogGlider
Bike looks really good would love to ride those roads. But I have a question about the rear fender. I was thinkin of doing the same to my bike. What did you do to smooth out the fender and replace the hole from the rear brake light housing? Did you bondo the hole or weld in another piece?
Thanks Ken

Thanks guys
As it is shown in the current photos I just used some metal and JB Weld to fill the hole. We are currently working on actually welding a new filler plate, as well as the other holes in the fender. Once the plate has been welded in place I will probably then use some body filler to smooth it out.
