I had the trackers on my Sportster S --phoned the shop discussed my weight and riding style---190# fairly sane riding----shocks came with springs for --I am guessing here---an 18# rider---bounced all over the place--very unhappy-----ran out of money to send back and get corrected

Nice. good that you got a deal. I'm about 180 and am eventually gonna try to get away with some 11" to slam the rear. Would be interested in how they handle. They're up in LA right? You just gave them your physical characteristics and riding style and they set up the shocks for you?

i just installed blacktrackers here a few weeks back. man are they a huge improvement over stock. the rear tire feels much more firm in corners. i also did the triple rate springs for the street bob in the front. and i also like the way those feel, but i may change out the fork oil for a heavier weight. but you just dont know how lacking the stock HD suspension is untill you try a performance setup (<--- i read this many times over the past few months when researching, thinking to myself that my stock suspension wasnt that bad, but man were all those folks right)

Put the forks back on, holy hell they are killer, problem is they make the stock rear even worse!!!!!! Rear shocks should be today or 2moro... I'll report back on those after they are on,,,
