Yes, I purchased Works 12 5/8" Street Trackers. Given the angle the shock mounts to the bike, one half an inch does not change the looks at all. However, I would think that longer = more travel = much better ride.

Yeah, one cool thing about the Works shocks is there is a little 'lever' sticking out of the top. Instead of using a spanner wrench to change the shock setting, one simple moves the lever. It takes about 2 seconds.

I was just saying, for only 280 lbs, would someone really have to change the shocks, not very much weight really. I was thinkin it sounded light, and the question was put out there like that was a huge ton to deal with, just found it humerous thats all.

I am having a hard time picking shocks as well. I only run my stock 12 inchers on my StreetBob on 1 up from the lowest setting for solo riding and dont feel they are really riding too low. So I am thinking the HD versions will probably be wayy too stiff for my liking. I really need to check my ride height loaded and verif
y where they really should be set and try that.
Its all good Bear, no worries. I figured I would throw in a cheap shot for laughs.
