Hi I have been looking on the forum for some pics and insight but was unsuccessful I want to upgrade my shocks on my nightster to something a little better I was looking at the Progressive 412's and I weight about 140 and I am going to do a little bit of two up and my woman is about 110 so with that being said should I get the standard duty or heavy duty shocks? And what length should I get with out ruining the look of the bike I know stock is 11" but a little more travel would be nice for two up and some rough roads, 11.5" or 12".
So with that being said does anyone have knowledge they would like to share and PICS if possible of a Nightster with 11.5" or 12" progressive 412's?
Thanks for your help it is always appreciated.
