Two Harley dealer service dept have now said that the 1/4 difference is not an issue. Maybe Ill just start from square one, try again and see what happens
But I realize that what may not be a problem using Harleys OEM shocks with no concern or requirements for adjusting sag, may very well be more so of a problem with Legend or other brands. Thats where Im stuck now I guess lol.

OK here's the end result:
I decided to not wait for any more input and I worked with the distance difference and adjusted each shock as necessary to get the sag. I really don't think the frame or swing arms or anything else is out of alignment. The shocks are slightly different positions on the thread barrel but I went with the sag as the requirement, not equal turns. We got a break in the weather and took it for a 20+ mile test run and it's back like it was on 1/1/2020 when the wife immediately loved it the first day I ever installed them. So much better than the Harley stock! Although those stock ones did keep me riding over the last couple of months. Maybe next year I'll go with a Legend front end.
I pass all this on because I figure if I was looking for these answers to the questions I had, someone else has or will also. Hopefully it will help others. Happy riding!

Yes I do. Its a shorter handled one which makes it good for tighter areas but the down side is of course it takes more butt for the higher torques. But as Ive said, whether you call it in inches or foot pounds, its the same torque.

Thank you. Thats pretty much what I finally determined but had to make sure. I have not seen that particular issue addressed anywhere; its always said to turn them equally but that wasnt working. Hopefully this will help others who may run into this and wonder.
