Default SG shocks on Electra glide?

I'm gonna pick up a 95 FLHT this week and have learned that running SG shocks would give me another inch lower. What year SG shocks will bolt on to the 95 Electra glide?
Thanks

any year- the 09 suffix on the part number for 2009+ has "improved valving"

you are giving up 1/3 of your suspension travel- so it could be harsher than you want- but worth a try

don;t forget to adjust your drive belt

Your 'new' bike is an Evo and we also have a dedicated Evo section, where you can meet up with fellow owners, so pop in there for a look around. Wait until you've had some experience riding your bike before you start making mods - some mods are not all they are cracked up to be, including lowered suspension!

Get the premiums. Much better than the old air.

I'm sorry, yes. They came on the CVOs first I believe them the specials and now it's the only one. They ditched the air all together. You can find take offs in eBay. If you can get them from a 17 they were revalved and are supposed to be better. I have a 16 with them. And rode a 17. Didn't see any difference. I've seen a few sets on here for sale too.
