How do you like the shocks? I'm looking at a set for my WG and was wondering how the ride is especially dropping it a inch. Thanks and great looking bike. I need to post some pics of mine and my Road King if I can figure how to post up some pics

I lowered the bike 1.5"s. I am running Progressive 430's 11". I weigh 175 lbs and never ride two up. I have about 3 hundred miles on these shocks. I think they have given me a better ride even though I lost the 1.5"s in travel. I sit even more into the bike because of my seat. I highly recommend both the shocks and the seat....

I can stare at this bike all day long Retxpres, & I'm considering a few similar mods to mine. Have to ask - do you have any more pics, possibly from the front or 3/4 front view please? Would be great to see some other angles.

That's one Fine looking WideGlide! Did you use Appliance Paint or did you have the front forks powder coated? Whole Damn bike looks great!

Beautiful bike. Did you lower the front (fork)?

Just want to answer a few questions that have been posted...
The front end of my Wide Glide is powder coated.
The front end is not lowered it is stock. Since I lowered the rear, I think the bike
handles much better than stock. The combo of a lower seat and shocks allows me to sit into the bike much better. The bike has a hard ride to it, but I like it...
Right now these are the best photos I have. If I should get more I will post.
Thanks for all the positive compliments!
