i think i read somewhere that the custom uses a different motor mount than the other road kings. can someone tell me if i read that right? i was also wondering if i could change the mounts since the classic would have less vibration, or so i read.
also i was wondering about changing the rear shocks to get more travel. i am taller and do not mind the higher seat height. can someone give me the part number for the taller shock or any info on what i should look for? i see a bunch of them on ebay but they have different part numbers. not sure which one would work.
all touring bikes have the same motor mounts, frame and chassis. i you want longer shocks get either12.5 or 13 inch stock on the custom are 12 check progressive suspension either 412 or 440 you get what you pay for
