Hello everybody
have a question
I have a 99 Ultra Classic and the previous owner put 11 in air shocks on it which is way too low for me. I've been offered a set of takeoffs from a 2017 Ultra Classic. My question is will the 2017 Ultra Classic rear shocks fit on my 99.
If I wasn't so lazy I would try to swap between my 01 and 17 but seems to me they should work regardless of the frame change. Bushings should be the only concern. I am sure someone will come along with a more definite answer. I bought a set of Progressive shocks off of a forum member last year to put on my Road King. They were from a much newer bike but don't remember the year.
Do you know what the original length was on the bike I just did the same thing for my 2010 ultra and they were 13" I would see no reason why the wouldn't bolt up I would try them I understand the 2017 shock are greatly improved over the older ones
