Are you talking about the profile shocks that come stock on the street glide. If so I am running them on my ultra and love them. They are a breeze to install, just follow the service manual.

Do you know what size the stock shocks on a 2009 SG are.

I put them on my '08 and love them. It took about 30 minutes to install. Note that per the service manual there is a bit of a difference in the belt tightness with the SG shocks.
