Default New shocks DK twin adjustable

Put these on a month ago and they are Definitely a way better ride than the premium ride shocks that came with the bike

Looking good, and great to hear you're enjoying the improved ride with the Twin Adjustable Shocks.

Do you mind sharing where you got the black dice valve stem caps? I have chrome ones on my Softail, but would like some black ones for the Sporty.

Are those springs black chromed? They look beautiful. How much for a pair? Have them in 13.25" for my 1991?

Here's your black dice valve caps, a nice little stocking stuffer too!

The springs are black powder coat, the bodies black anodized. There are 13" that will fit your bike at this LINK.

There are some 13.25" shocks that will fit your bike at this LINK (the collars in the photos are red, but they have now been switched to black. Need to take new photos)

We do not stock them in chrome, but you can call or email and we can get them for you in chrome.
