HELP PS 412 vs. 944 vs. HD Stock
Dear SG Fans,
I have 2014 nice SG, but suffering from height.
I compared the PS 412-4074 (11.5" / Standard Load) vs. PS 944-4001UL (12.5" / Standard Load / Ultra Low Version sitting at 11") with following file :
http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&...84349003,d.d24
Google Search : " Progressive Suspension Data" and the related PDF.
Which value shows me the evidence, that the height under my load (85 Kg) is the lower shock for better footing ?
I understood from the data, that the minimum length is nearly same 245 mm vs. 242 mm to prevent rubbing tire in fender, but the travel length in 944 UL is much higher for better comfort / better damping.
So which values gives me the indication, that 944 UL shocks is lower than 412 (11.5") version when i sit on the bike ?
Or does i not sit deaper under my load of 85 Kg ?
Which is better for the front-lowering kit in kombination ?
Actually im still waiting for the lowering mono fork tube kit :/

The 944 is a 12.5 inch shock that sets at the 11.5 height. You get more travel and yet set lower. (yeah I know that don't make sense). I had similar (940's) on a SG and after I got the right springs (standard vrs heavy duty) on it I loved the ride. Am seriously considering the 944's for my Utra Low. 944-4001UL
