I would like any feedback and pictures from from anyone who put the 14" PA shocks with the lowering blocks on a streetglide. I'm getting ready to replace my rear shocks on a 2015 SG and believe these would give me the best ride.
Im interested to see how it sits and how it rides 2 up.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

 

Not a SG but a RKS. Sits about 5/8" taller than stock until I sit on it.

If your not 300 lbs or ride a lot of 2 up it may be a little rough. It's not terrible solo (I'm about 260 and too lazy to adjust for solo) but it's SUPER nice when I have the wife on the back.

 

Dang, that is one sweet looking King

Post #26 for 2" lowering blocks. I replaced my 12" shocks with 14" (not PA) and used 2" lowering blocks. Hope that helps with a visual of what you are looking to do with the PA's.

 

Damn that's nice.

 

 

For my 14", it has not. During the first week I had them, a friend ('14 Limited stock suspension 13" air shocks) and I hit a pretty severe void in road going at a good clip. It was a jolt that I do not want to experience again. That said, my bike tracked pretty straight and my friends bike moved over about 6 feet. We were surprised one or both of us did not have an accident (both of us were lifted off the seat). As violent of a jolt as we experienced, I did not want to think how the my stock 12" shocks with 2" of travel would have handled it. When we checked our bikes, neither of our tires hit the fender, no leaks from either shocks (his air or the oil in mine), and if any damage would have occurred, that would have done it.

 

Remember that at least 1 inch of that travel is sag. The rear tire really won't go up a whole lot higher into the fender vs the stock shocks.

 

Using "conventional" thinking for set up, that's true. However the preload set up (as described by ProAction), that is not the criteria used & probably won't apply.

 

Actually that's how I set my shocks - by the zip tie method, which is the same idea but using the zip tie as an indicator instead of the bumper. You want to use all of your travel. But that doesn't mean there isn't sag. I guarantee you, with any decent shock, there is. In this case Pro Action calculates it using your stats and sends them with the estimated sag already dialed in. But they're smart not to spend too much time on sag (like one noteworthy sponsor here) because in the end, it's going to be adjusted away from that anyway. And if you chose your spring rates correctly, it will likely be close to 1/3rd the total travel. In this case - about an inch.
