Default Ohlin 2-2a shock and belt deflection setting

This is a 12" shock with the 3.125 suspension travel. Are you guys using the standard shock or the low profile dimension on table 32 pg 153 owners manual?

Oops, did not see your sig, when I first posted. When I put my Ohlins on I did not even check the belt.

Your Street Glide came with 12" shocks stock, they are the low versions. you put 12" Ohlins on so your belt adjustment scale stays the same, use the Low scale, My Road Glide also came with 12" from the factory, I put 13" Ohlins on it so I use the standard shock belt adjustment.
