I found a pair 12.5' Street glide shocks on local Craigslist, 20,000 miles old for $100, what do you think? How long do they usually last? I heard air shocks last much longer than hydraulic. Thanks again!

Waaaaaaay over priced, its not that hard to find take offs with little or no use. I hear reports of these things failing from time to time and usually its a case of worked just fine right up till they stopped holding air so with 20K miles I'd steer well clear of those, the standard height ones you can usually get around $50-75, again with little to no use on them. Personally if I was looking for lowering shocks I'd either be patient and wait for a low miles set on ebay or wherever or get the new ones from Zanotti - not too bad of a price.

Try looking at these

Set One
- they have three sets and you can see in the photo they were capped on removal - free shipping so not a bad price.

Set Two
- might be new, ask what they came off of, how many miles and the part number on the sticker.

Set Three
- nice new take offs, a little high on the price though and you still have to pay shipping.

I've got some 13" ones I'm going to try on my FXDB in the hopes that it will better my cornering clearance. I found 1/8" NPT Schrader valves today at Napa for like $2 each.

Check O'reilly for the Schrader valves. I found them cheaper there, than napa. Plus, they are not as "bulky" looking as what napa had.
