. 12" or 13".

 

Pro-Action has both. They asked me what I wanted but I am 6'1" tall and told them to stay with stock height. So they are 13 inch. I actually think the bike is just slightly taller than it was with the stock air suspension even at 50 psi.

 

Any issues with regards to exhaust system clearance ?

 

+1 on Ohlins from Howard! Great shock, put 13" on a 2014 SG. Wife noticed a big difference when 2 up. Best compliment I can pay them is I don't even notice bumps from the rear anymore when riding solo too. Now, to get new front ones.....someday!
Good luck!

 

I have a set of 13" Ohlins enroute from Howard right now. I went with #2-#3b, those are the Blacklines that have a 97mm stroke. I ride solo 99% of the time and won't have to worry too much about adjusting for 2Up.

 

Motorcycle Metal's Ohlins. Do your research and be honest with your bike setup info before calling Howard. Select the model that fits your budget. Howard WILL work with your choice/offer knowledge/advice (suggest a change if needed) and you'll have satisfaction in the end, but ultimately the choice is yours to live with. If you need to save a little more to get what Ohlin's model is best for your needs, just be patient and save because it'll be worth it. Choice is yours.

 

Love my #6's from Howard!

 

I Leaned that way as well....... George and his staff are top notch when it comes to customer service and I can testify 1st hand that their shocks get the job done! I've put thousands of miles on my 15RGS in Pothole ridden PA all the way down to The Dragon in TN with these babies!!!

 

Not issues with exhaust clearance with the 13" pro actions. Some of the longer options from ohlin's will require you to space the mufflers down.

 

Ohlins in the rear, Race Tech in the front, the only way to go.....


Built this one long ago, best shocks ever.
