Nice and sweet, your ride looks slammed with those shocks..I thought they were 10's. Very nicely done.
They're 11" HD 412's. I was contemplating 10.5" shocks but I'm close on clearance as is. I have 3/4" between my fender and the rear footpeg mount. Same on the other side between my fender and belt guard. With the 11" HD's, my suspension only compresses when I have two riding, by myself I can't get the shocks to compress. Stiff ride.

I have some 4 inch straight risers on drags and they feel good ridin with em. I run mid controls and they seem to compliment the drags. Your bike looks nice with the chrome console on the tank.

Not sure if I want the front end so stiff. I have been thinking about it though. Been eyeing the Progresive drop in spring kits. I haven't found many reviews to make a decision off of.

Very nice look overall ... I like the S&S A/C ... don't see them all that often anymore, it seems ... classic ....
Nice low stance ... I think the 4" risers and drag bars accentuate the low 11" rear shocks ... with the thin LePera seat and the tank lift just adding more ....
A few other niceties are the lay-down license bracket, front turn signal relocation to upper triple tree, eliminated the right mirror and the nostalgic grips ....
Tasteful mix of black and chrome ... well done ...!

Your bike with just a few smart moves has a totally changed stance and attitude! VERY well done.
You know what I love? The front turn signal relocate. Gives your bike long unbroken lines up front. Cant wait to see a 21 up there!
Thanks for the inspiration while my baby sits in the garage this winter.
