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?

 

I took off the Low Profile shocks and installed 13" touring shocks on my '10 Street Glide.
WHY???? I have a 20 year old drive in a fifty year old body.

 

What's the best way to get these stock 13 inch shocks? I'm tired of my SG low profile shocks already as well.

 

What were the results?

 

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.

 

I knew that I was going to get a SG.....so I told my HD parts guys to have the look out
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?

You don't look too vertically challenged.

 

I have a Sundowner seat installed and it was OK but not an all day seat for me. So I sent it to MCC and had them do the Comfort Rider option which put the seat about the same height, or maybe a tiny bit higher. I am in the process if installing a Progressive Drop-in lowering kit to bring it down 1". I'm going to see what that does and go from there. Just trying to get a little more flat footed. I also have a C&C solo seat for shot rides.

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

 

For anyone looking to sell their SG shocks, for the right price, contact me.
