The only complaints about these shocks I've heard are from big guys riding two up with thier big girl on the back or suspension experts that can't be happy with anything less than an $1000 dollar pair of shocks.If I had $200 and some change to spend on a pair of shocks this is what I'd buy, in fact it's what I bought.Compare these to a set of Progressive 412s, there's no comparison.

Looks like a Super Glide with air shocks. Good choice. That seat looks like the stock "2-up ribbed" seat that came stock on my 2007 FXDC. If it is, it looks nice but I sold it immediately as it is less comfortable than sitting on a train track.

It feels like a riding on a cloud compared to the LePera barebones I had.And it looks worlds better than the gigantic "pillow look" that I have for a back up.

No the brake line may not be the prettiest looking thing in the world but everything works as it should.With the street bobs you can go anywhere from a couple inches taller than the stock apes to literally anything shorter than that without having to mess with the cables.Case in point I have had the stock 10" mini apes,Flanders H5 wide flat track bars,Santee 12" mini apes and now Nightster bars all with my original cables.

Looks good and will handle heaps better ey!
The seat looks like the stock unit I have on my 2010FXDC, chrome slotted shields on black pipes look good...had that setup on my EVO Sportster, I will find some pics to post up.
Hmmm..are the nightster bars the same as the old XLX bars?? had them on my Sportster as well....got me a thinking.
