If you set your sag at 1/3 of the travel on 13 inch shocks you should with the 1 inch lower front suspension, your geometry will work OK.
I lowered the front & rear 1 inch on my 2007 Road King and it worked just fine, the Bike in my avatar photo.
Hey jim bob if u would be interested in trading my progressive 944 ul 13 with some cash I would definitely be down. They sit 1 lower then normal 13 shocks with all the travel. Also have the standard and heavy duty springs for them. Standard is under 250 lbs and hd is 250-350 lbs. can install whichever one you prefer and give you the others as well. Let me know how you make out.
let me think about it. I put on the 1.5 drop block today and now there tight as a board. It did drop the bike to the height I like but not much give on the rear and I have the dial set on 1. Im 210lbs so standard is where Im at. Im new to this forum Im not sure how to find these replys. I went to my name and post of mine to see you have replied. I heard I can send the shocks to Legend and they will redo them with 12 specs. Ive thought about going back with air ride also so thats another option. Those will be Legdnds also if I go that route. Im just pissed at my self for ordering 13s when I should of went with 11s or 12. I hate I spent this much on these shocks and now there not what i expected. Im going to try to readjust the damping since I added the drop block see how that goes. As you can tell Im undecided what I want to do except scream. Lol Ill let you know what I decide.
