Anyone with real world experience with a 1" longer shock on a Fab Bob? Let me know what shock you used and how it rides and handles please.
Thanks in advance.
I have the Ohlins #3-3 from Motorcyclemetal.com
They are 12 3/4" minimum, and adjustable to longer if wanted (I've never done it).
They make such a HUGE improvement that it is probably my favorite mod. The bike handles well to begin with, but this takes it to another level. The comfort is indescribable. My wife would agree.
Scraping is greatly reduced as well.
BTW he gives a nice discount off his web prices if you mention HDForums
I've got 13" Ricor shocks, sport tuned. The ride is much better than stock. Also, having the extra travel is a big plus. The ride is very compliant and it handles nicely on rough roads. Highly recommend them and they are a huge improvement over the stock shocks. Reasonably priced too!

Where do you buy/find Ricor shocks? Do you have a part number reference?
Do you pick a spring rate seperate?
Thanks for the help.

What he said. I have the same ones on my Street Bob and the difference is incredible.
