Great...thanks for the pics. It's kind of hidden but accessible..and places the helmet in a good place, but it appears to push your seat up a bit. I will check if the lock will be able to work with my seat. Thanks again.

Seat barely has to move. I guess the original owner liked it there. It's my wife's bike. I just use one of those Harley padlock things on my handlebar.

Yes, I wouldn't tour on it. But I don't Tour Anymore just some day-trips. Special order seat, took 3 weeks to get it.

Thanks to a fellow member ‘Wavy48’ I was able to put on some RK shocks part no. 54565-97B over the weekend. He included a 1” lowering block which helped out since I’m only 5’5” but I still ordered DK’s 1.75” lowering blocks because of the height change and I want my feet to be more flat on the ground instead of being on my toes. As of right now I have them at 0 PSI and took them out for about a 1.5 hr. ride on side streets and the highway and man oh man what a difference good difference of course. I might be bumping them up to 5 PSI being that I’m 195 lbs. and I think it’s suggested that they be at 5 PSI for 200 lbs. and above I'll see if that gives me even a smoother ride.

Looks good. Hope it rides as good or better!!!

So to the air shock guru’s…

My 2013 XL1200C sure could use some rear shock help.

Can you guys direct me into options? Like what model RK, SG, UC OEM air shock may fit? I know nothing about the lengths but my bike is stock XL1200C height. Ride is pretty rough I’d say. Bike is really about 95% enjoyable.

If I could get the bumps smoothed out, sure I get it won’t be as good as my UC2006, but man I’d be stoked. Our PA roads are pretty whack!!! I’d enjoy the bike more for sure if the ride smoothed out and it didn’t break the bank on the Sportie!

THANK YOU!
