I did the same but used the shorter Street Glide shocks. Much smoother ride, really takes out the road chop. I use a air compressor with a regulator set at 40 psi to fill them, then use a pressure gauge with a bleed off valve and bleed them down to 10 psi. Only modification to make them fit is to trim the rubber boot where it attaches to the shock so that it doesn't interfere with the belt guard, might be better just to shim the shocks out about a 1/4".
That's weird - no clearance issues on mine, bolted right on.
