Default What rear end/ strut is this?
Hey guys,

A bike I just bought unseen just got here. What strut is this and why would someone opt for this? It's obviously not stock but I have seen it on another bike. Any help is appreciated.

Also, he's got a 180 on the rear? Was that stock tire size?

The shocks look like Progressive 430 series. Here is a link: http://www.progressivesuspension.com...ies/index.html

i am pretty sure the wide glide stock is 180... those are aftermarket wheels so i would guess a 200 can be slapped on there no problem if you have the clearance

Oh, struts, yeah, duh!! Please ignore my comment above re the shocks. Obviously, I completely missed the point of the OPs thread. Sorry about that.

Good call man! I would have never guessed that. So I just needs to find a set of strut covers? What do those run used?

yes sir just a set of wg strut covers and you can pop them on there. Not sure on prices but if you find them in chrome and want black you can have them drop shipped to us for coating.
