Bitchin Bagger Shocks

Anybody running these? How do they ride compared to the stock air shocks? I have a 14 RK and I'm trying to get it lower. I already have the 12" street glide shocks and I've narrowed the nose of the seat that i use. I still need to go down about an inch or so.

I called and spoke to Ron today at Bitchin Baggers and he seems like a great guy, and very knowledgeable. I'm curious if anyone has a 11 or 11 1/4 inch Bitchin Bagger Drop shock on their bike. If so, how does it ride? DId you lower the front?

Thanks for your help. I think getting longer legs might be easier than finding a shock lol

I have 11.5 Bitchin Bagger shocks and they are outstanding, as good or better than stock. I did have a set lowered to 11 and although they were fine, they would bottom a bit too easy for me. I highly recommend Bitchin Baggers. Have quick turn around, excellent workmanship and excellent people to deal with.

I ended up dropping my front 1". Although I am planning to go to a 21" front very soon so I will be back up an inch.

i had the 11 1/4" bitchin bagger shocks. they were better than stock but still not that great. progressive 412's are better but still not good. ohlins are going to be your best option. i can tell you from experience that anything below a 12" shock is going to ride like a tank. and i know it gets old hearing about taller boots but they do help. i got the chippewa logger comp toe and they are very comfortable. i have the ohlins #3-#3 and i sit flat footed on the bike
