With the ProAction 13" you will get 3.5 Inches of travel. I doubt going down the road you would ever use more than that.

Default The big bump 13 or 14

When I talk to DK custom tell them what kind of riding we do . It seems like no matter what state we go to.. Get a least two bump and just about send us airborne. Then the wife hit me in the back of the head like it’s my fault. So I’m going to do a little bit more research on the 14s Pro action . To see if they will work . DK says they have sold A lot of the set up I spent two hours online last night looking . Only place I could firing that was talking about 14 inch pro action shots . It’s on DK custom‘s website and that was on a trike.

I have used the Ohlins 3-3 on four bikes so far, the improvement over any stock Harley shock is most excellent. Rebuild every two-three years or 35k miles. I do like the new pro action shocks and if the Ohlins ever fail these are the go to shocks. I recently added a 1-3" lowering kit to the rear suspension to help my wife skate across the seat better, I set it at the 1" and now I have to adjust to the different ride height.

Default I decided to go with pro action

I went with the 14 inch 1 inch lowering kit So far I am very happy with my decision . Me and the Mrs. are getting ready to put some miles on . Now that it has cooled down soon . We took a ride when they were first put on . See noticed a difference immediately . I made a few adjustments very easy to do . Will give a update later
