I run the Shotgun Shock. It was slammed for the pic. I ride with it up a few more inches. Very comfortable and great for 2 up rides.

It is a bit pricey, but well worth the coin to me. It's cool to slam the bike for that low look but the shock has adjustable rebound as well as height. Most comfortable suspension on a bike that I have ever ridden in 45 + years. Put a lot of miles away on a hard tail in my younger years only to have it bite me in the A$$ these days. Flip of a switch and she is ready for 2 up riding or set it higher for the twisties = minimal floorboard scraping.

got my pipes, air cleaner and micro tuner on last night. that micro tuner was a b*tch, never seen anything like it. watched the mechanic. you have to jack into the throttle body wire. and the stock pipes were a pain to get off. glad that's all over with.. I'm still up in the air about the bars. I bought sportster tracker bars, but I'm afraid of being in the same position I'm in now with the stock. my arms sit so low. thinking of doing apes again is driving me nuts. thought about 12's but thinking that might not do it.. recommendations? I can't go to high due to a frozen shoulder,, maybe 14's..i don't know

I'm 5-9 and 12's are perfect for me. With stock, I had a piercing pain right between my shoulder blades. With the wild one 12.5s I can ride all day

I put on the 16" LA Chopper tree huggers, but no risers to add in there...


I am also 6'1, these put my hands slightly below my shoulders.
