I know they make good shocks I ran them on quite a few of my track sports bikes. But the yellow on the harley I can't get over, to each there own. As long as you are happy that is all that counts!

Any way to get that fender to set lower on the tire? I'm sure the the bike handles great but the high rear end looks strange.

Judging from the pic, looks like the Ohlin #3 ($960). They look longer than stock - what length did you get? The solo bag does a nice job of concealing the gap between the tire and fender. I'm thinking of putting these on my 2012 WG that is on order. I'll probably want to raise it about a 1/2" or so, and I like that Ohlins are adjustable length. If anyone has pictures of longer than stock shocks on their 2010 or later WG, please post a pic.

No turn signals... and the reflectors; I'm just too lazy to waste my time to take them off but maybe someday when I'm not busy riding.

I guess you could order shorter shocks, but I didn't like how low the rear end sat stock. And yes, it handles great!

These are the 12 inch. I am running a 180 tire on the rear so there isn't much gap to the fender.
