Default RE: Up date dragginBagger

I had some of the same thoughts on this. One of my concerns is that no one can attest to the ride quality of this system. Being able to raise and lower your bike 4" inches does not assure you of good suspension. Many of the Bagger owners seem more concerned about being able to play with the up and down movement of the shocks. How good will it perform into hard turns? Will it wallow like the stock shocks? Will it handle bumpy roads while providing a firm yet comfortable suspension? I run Progressive shocks on my Bagger which are an improvement over the stock shocks. I want to hear from riders who can give positive feedback on the performance of these shocks as opposed to the compressor's ability to raise and lower them 4" inches............

Not entirely true - someone posted this last week:

used to ride a Sportster, then a Dyna Low Rider but I wanted a more comfortable ride for longer trips. I wanted to ride a 'big bike' I wanted to ride a Road King. I bought a smaller seat and a lowering kit, but still at 5'2" I couldn't reach safely. Draggin Baggers put this system on my bike and in 2 months I've riden over 1800 miles with my feet flat at every stop. The ride is so smooth and can be adjusted easily for any road condition. I am confident and comfortable on the bike now thanks to Draggin Baggers.

Sound pretty good to me : )

well if the shocks suck and pogo you ...guess you could install the stock HD air units and use the onboard compressor

Ha ha ha - true story! Course since DG shocks will go up to 150 lbs you'd REALLY need a gauge to keep from blowin the stock ones up! : )
