Bitchin Baggers (Phoenix Custom) Shocks

We need to lower my wife’s 2014 Roadking. We have already changed the seat and yes shewears boots with thick soles. I amleaning towards the Bitchin Baggers (Phoenix Custom) Shocks, 1-1/4"lower than stock. The Progressive 944 seem pricy, and I have read they ride stiff.

We looked at the Harley shocks and the air adjustable willlower her 3/4”, and they can’t tell me how much the hand adjustable shock willlower her.
I am looking for comments from anyone that has purchased theBitchin Baggers (Phoenix Custom) Shocks.

Thanks for any comments

Hi Bob,

i saw your other thread.

Suggest you can do a comprehensive search of older threads which talk about Bitchin Baggers ( or any other product) this'll fill your Sunday with reviews, experiences arguments and conjecture.

that could give you a good over-view and allow for specific questions back here on the forums, or with the vendor should you go ahead.

what's better than that?

The search function for this forum really works well

Mike

i had the stock 12'' shocks on my 2010 rgc cut down by bb to 11.25''. gave me more ground reach, didn't notice any degradation in ride, but though maybe better than stock shocks, they are still basically stock shocks and will not ride like progressives, ohlins, jri's, etc.....

I had them on my SG they will get you down a little bit,if you really want a bang for your buck when you do the rear shocks lower the front, you won't believe how much that will help.

I had them on my SG I went to the 11" mod, no complaints with tourpack and 2 up riding. Give Ron a call @ bitchin baggers he will answer your questions, good folks to deal with.
