Rear shocks

I have a 2006 harley Deluxe. I bottom out everytime I hit a bump and am considering upgrading to legends rear shocks. Does the deluxe come with shorter rear shocks than other shocks or are they just regular size shocks? Thank you

Have you adjusted the preload on your current shocks?

Cheers!

Anyways....

There are two different shock absorber part numbers for the regular 2006 Heritage and the 2006 Special Nostalgia (deluxe) Heritage...

Heritage = #54508-00B

Deluxe = #54549-04

Since there are two different shock numbers, it's possible one set are lower than the others...
