Give it a try, it may be for you. I think 10 inch struts would look sick if you don't mind the stiff ride.

What happened to the streetglide at NWHD?

I've ridden a rigid shovelhead that was pumpin 115hp. Rode it about 50 miles. Was just a little rough on the kidneys. You might want to consider a sprung seat.

Let the rear tire down to 10 pounds and make sure you have a good firm seat.
