if you look in the moco catalog at the two front end lowering options for touring bikes you'll see they are different. The road kings have an internal cartridge only on one side, I believe. The others have on both sides. hence the lower price for "A" "except Road King" asthe ultra, glide, classic already have two cartridges.The B kit only changes the springs, which, by the fitability shown(is that a word?)seem to becommon to all the touring bikes listed.

I very happy with mine.

The only things to change are the handlebars.

And they don't make the custom anymore. 2007 was the last year. My stealership said they did not sell well.
Brent, do you spend as much time photoshopping and making yourself look 8 feet tall as you do riding (givin ya chit)

I had an 04 Custom, it was lower that was the main difference. Other than obvious cosmetic differences
