Installed some touring air shocks
These are the low profile touring shocks on my 99FXD. Waiting on Harley to get the air lines in.

RE: Installed some touring air shocks
I bought the low profile (12" between the centers of the eye holes.) They dropped the back of the bike 1". If you want stock length just order the stock length air shocks for a touring bike. No mods needed they just bolt on like the stockers. The chrome covers that slip over the top mounting bolt will need a littletrim with a file on the bottomif you want to re-use them. I like the look of the bike without them on. The air lines hook up to the shocks and then to a schrader valve that I will be mounting under the seat. If I'm riding 2 up I just add a couple pounds of air. They change the whole look of the bike and the ride...smoooth.

I went with them for the look. Blacked out with little rubber gators ties them in with the front of my bike. The bonus was thatthey are very much smoother. Like riding on a cloud.

RE: Installed some touring air shocks
I bought mine new because of a 20 0/0 off sale at the local dealer. You can find the stockers for about $50 used on ebay. The low profiles are harder to get and run around $150 on ebay. Then if they don't come with them your in for another $50 for the air lines, plugs and valve. Good luck
