Anyone running road king shocks on a dyna just saw a post in the sporty section alot of guys talking about using them.
Can someone post up a pic of the chrome ones on a dyna. Iam assuming that the RK shocks in chrome or black will bolt right up on a dyna or sporty and if so i have an 07 dyna so what do you look for 07 RK shocks this sounds like good idea for me as me and wife ride alot and we are not small people not huge but not 100 lbs each either.

Here's a photo of the eBay 12" chrome air shocks with my 225 lbs of weight on them at 22 psi. They sit at the same height as the original Low Rider shocks when I'm not on the bike.

I would be interested in what your Showa co-workers say.

Wyde Glyde I wish they won't even let us buy anything at all, or i would have chrome lowers and chrome covered rear shocks. But i should be able to talk to the people in that are that know whats going on and see what they say. About shocks and what i want to do.

I had the Electraglide air shocks, pretty much the same thing.That was the best my Dyna ever rode or handled.I gave them away because they looked stupid after I chopped my fender.I have the very cool looking very rough riding 11" Progressives now, I think the 12" air shocks might be a good compromise they're the same length as the stock Street Bob shocks but I'll bet they ride nicer.

You'll be better off with the 13" Harley Davidson Showa shocks, as the chrome ones on eBay are low quality copies of the Showa's and they bottom out. Below are photos of the 12" Harley Davidson Low Profile shocks that come on the Street Glide and I think the Road King Custom.
