2010 or newer New Wide Glide, Changed your shocks ? talk to me
Ive got the front stuff ordered, to updgrade my suspension which is long overdue. Ive ordered progressive front springs, and Ricor Intiminators.
Now, Trying to decide which of these shocks I should chose for the rear.
1. Ricors
2. Works Black Trackers
3. Progressive 970
I'm not sure but I think the Factory shocks on the WG are shorter than other dynas... So what I would like to know if you changed your shocks, did it significantly change your wheel gap, and overall how much did it improve ride - handling
My 011 WG stock rear shocks are 11 3/4" (center to center bolts). My sig pic is with 11" Progressives. Putting 13.5's on there would make it look like a dirt bike I would think. I don't know if they make a 180/60 17 knobby.

So which model Progressives did you go with. Did you get an improvement in ride - handling ?
