Default 2013 Street Bob

Looking to lower my back end of my 2013 Street Bob. Recommendations on shocks to put on? I have read a lot about ohlins, but gauging for possible cheaper but still great quality brands.

Any help will do.

Default Update

Okay so quick update, I realized that I have progressive shocks on now, not sure which ones, but still the goal is to close the gap between my wheel and rear fender. My Dad and I think that by adjusting the shocks with a Spanner wrench that we can close that a little bit more. Is this true? Or are there other means of doing this?

Help

I'd post this in the Dyna forum since that's what you have.

Before you go over to the Dyna section , you've got decent shocks man there's nothing wrong with progressives , and yea they're be a saet you could get a shock guy ir the factory to lower unless they're fooked so yea take out some pre-load and see if she sits down in the **** free standing .it might not BUT with you on it she might look low and nasty ,I know what you're going for I too like a bike that tapers away to the back end man. ,
