thinking of doing something different for the *** end on my SG. It's sits a little higher than I'd like. I bought a set of LA choppers 1" lowering blocks but I was thinking that adjusting where the shocks mount would move the fends closer to the tire and on the stock shocks might cause some bottoming out. What are you guys running?

Thinking about maybe doing some progressives but I don't want to give up ride quality.

You need an air ride suspension, lower it to the ground if you want. Saw a vendor at Chopperfest in Ventura had a cool setup, forget the name....
