Default Will Sporty shocks fit a Super Glide?

Have to ask because I want to lower my seat hieght an inch or even two and my brother inlaw has a nice set of Progressive 11's from his Sporty.

I just want to use them a few days to find out if the hieght would be good and there would not be too much scraping or anything.

Thanks

Tom

Default RE: Will Sporty shocks fit a Super Glide?

Yes they will (Im pretty sure). I had a 2000 sporty and I got a set of progressive shocks from a local shop. When I purchased them they had no spacers with them. When I contacted progressive they sent my spacers that would fit touring, sportys and fx. Wish I still had those shocks.
but the spacers in the eyelets might not fit.
