Default Roadglide Shocks

I have a 2019 Roadglide, 107, I’m sure this has been beat to death, I don’t care I’m self locked up and bored, as are a couple of youse. What size are the stock shocks and what is a good alternative, I would like to drop it about 1/2-1 inch.

if its just the roadglide and not the ultra, then the stock shocks are 12''. any of the name brand shocks, legends, supershox, pro-action, ohlins, etc. will give you a better ride. and with the sag set properly, give you that 1/2'' drop. but for an even better ride, go with the name brands in a 13'' version. with the sag set properly, you'll sit at about the same height as you do with the stock hd 12'', but the ride will be much improved.

I purchased a set of 13" Progressive suspensions coil overs. set about 3/4 in of droop in them and the ride is AMAZING.

I didn't, because as stated once you have the sag set correctly with a 13" shock your actual ride height doesn't change that much.

you don't need to. the front is the same as the stock ultra with 13'' shocks. they didn't change the geometry any when they went to the 12'' shocks. the only exception to that is with the 'low' models, which they've phased out anyways.
