You definitely have an interesting ride. I'm sure it's a combination of the taller shock and its a better quality shock.

It's a 103". In the SE pro catalog they call it the SHO... CNC ported, 260 cams, 10.5 HTCC pistons, some odds and ends.

sweet, k, taht makes sense. Was curious where you got 35hp on me, since I didn't think a 103 on its own would do it - the cams and pistons would do the job though, especially with a head job I'm at 77/96 right now, on the stock 96" with just the bolt-ons.

I'm not sure of the differences between a Superglide and a Superglide Custom? Wouldn't think you would have any issues though. I (and also Havoc I think) had to play around a bit with the included spacers to get the right fit, but not what I would deem an issue.

Not easy to describe...the instructions are rather "universal". I deleted the inner spacer at the bottom, otherwise the bottom of the shock extended too far out, on the left side I added a spacer on the outside, otherwise the bolt was too close to the pully. Pretty minor stuff I think.

These all spacers included, or something you picked up from a parts store? Thanks for your time too!

Mine came with a bag of hardware, sort of a universal kit as near as I could tell. Numerous spacers, washers and a couple bolts. I just figured out which spacers I needed, and it was not an issue. Install instructions weren't teriffic, but then I suppose installing shocks on a Dyma is pretty basic to someone who has done it.

The instructions to setup and adjust the shocks were far better I just put in on the jack, then took maybe an hour. I am NOT mechanically inclined
