Stock Shocks
The previous owner put low profile shocks on the rear of my '07 FLHT. When I purchased the bike the stock shocks came with it but I left the low profiles on. I ran the bike for just over a year that way and today I decided to put the stock shocks back on. WOW!!! What a difference in the ride quality. I see why they call them Glides now. Anyone else done this and noticed a significant change for the better?

Now it's a sweet ride.
No more harsh bumps in the road. The SG rides as good as my RG.
I'm 6ft with 31" inseam......so the 1" gain was not a big deal.

for someone ordering HD low profile shocks. I worked a deal out with him and bought his touring shocks.
I watched them on ebay.....and offered him a fair price. I picked them up at the parts counter
as new and less than half price too.

That's a good result. In my case being 5' 8" the extra inch wouldn't work.

Have you tried a 13" shock bike? And a lower profile seat such as a Corbin?

The 13" stock shocks are a good economical option thou.
