Progressives for SG?
Developed an oil leak from a rear shock on my '06 SG. Note: these are 12-inch shocks, which lower bike one inch from other 'Glides. Service guy tells me the oil simply sits "below" the air in the shock, and that if it all runs out before he gets the replacement in, I'll be using just the spring, as if it wasn't an air shock. No biggie for riding, at least. He also says it might just be the collar or whatever inside the shock. Gotta take it in for them to have a look. If that's the case, he can add a wrap of telfon tape and it should be good to go.
So I'm thinking... I like things kept simple. That's one reason I got the Street Glide in the first place. It's tempting to go with a set of 12-inch Progressives (no air), or maybe even the standard 13-inch shocks from Harley to soften the ride just a bit.
Anybody using either of those? I kinda like the lowered thing, plus the idea of no air/nothing to screw up or leak. The bike's clean lines were a bigger deal for me than the lowered look, so maybe 13s from Progressive would be an option as well.
Curious to see what others have done.
Thanks,
Russ
