Default 1993 Heritage softail Shocks

greetings all..


I have a 93 heritage Softail...Ive done the lowering kit ( Burly ) and forgot to take a stock measurement of the shocks center to center ( bolt center to center )..to have a starting point to work with..


Anyone that could get this measurement, I would appreciate it...


thanx

If that Burley kit is anything like the Progressive 422's then all the way in is stock length and as you go out you are lowering the bike that much.

Yeah I saw that.
All I can say is what the hell was he thinking to put it there!!!!

There are way better choices for the front page than putting a new motor into a 23 year old bike.IMO

Stock I believe it's 11.5 center to center. Careful how much you lower it especially if you 250 plus....
