Looks great! Also curious about the rear tire size? You running any rear turn sigs?

I always wanted one! The shock cylinder looks a bit bigger compare to older version, did they change? Awesome!

This is the stock fender that has been lowered/re-radiused and all the holes welded shut and repainted the stock black denim. The only holes left on it are for the 4 fender bolts and the 1 seat bolt.

The rear tire is Metzeler 200/50/18.

Finishing up my same Arnott install today as well. I find the location for the compressor very tight on my Switchback, how is it on yours?
Thanks. I did find the compressor to be a very exact fit. No wiggle room whatsoever. I guess we will see how it stands up to the summer heat and riding thru traffic with it being that close to the motor.

200/50/18 Metzeler on the rear. I do have small 5 LED Tru-Flex strips (Custom Dynamics) pressed onto the top of each shock. They have dark-smoked bodies and light-up red and I wired them up as brake/turn lights only. I have no front signals though. I threw them in the garbage long ago.

Here is my 2008 SB on Monroe MA785 air ride, total cost about $250. 14" all the way up and 9 1/2 all the way down. There's a small gap between the strut cover and the belt gaurd. Got a lot more work to do to it.

Not sure if there has been a change, but the overall diameter is less than the Progressive 412 shock that I just took off.

Maybe its just the pic I posted, which was as full dump? The air bag kinda hugs the shock shaft tightly when fully dumped. When fully pumped, the air bag swells out to the size of the upper shock cup.
