I have an 03 FLTRI and might change the rear air shocks to Progressive 440s. Anyone know the stock height of these shocks, 12, 13"? Are they easy to change?
I have the one-hand manual lift bar.

Thx All!

 

Depends on what you order they come in several sizes, yes they are easy to install

 

You can switch shocks in 10 minutes...go with an air-ride system...then ya got 9 to 13 inches of on the fly adjustment...with improved ride and handling!

 

Stock height is 13 inchs.

Ths all for the info!!!!

 

Progressive 440's are simple to install & give an awesome ride(I have them on my 04 RK Custom)

A Street Glide & the RK Custom come with 12" air shocks(also the CVO EG's). All other baggers come with 13" air shocks.

Like I said, I have 440's on my bike & they improved the ride 1000% over the crappy stock shocks. That being said, I have ordered a Draggin Bagger setup for my bike for the simple reason that I want to be able to lower it at parking lot speeds to better accommodate my short legs(I am 5'6")

It will be real interesting to compare the ride of the new setup & the existing 440 shocks.

Keep us posted on what you think, I currently have the 12" harley shocks with a White brothers lowering kit for a total of 2.5" in the back. Progressive front lowering kit of 2". I am undecided about the airride adjusting on the fly or progressive 440 for the rear.

 

Yea, I will definitely post my impressions when I get the new setup installed(it will be a few weeks I guess). I am currently running 12" standard spring 440's & a Progressive fork lowering kit PIC OF MY BIKE & the ride is excellent(MUCH better than it was with the HD air shocks)

I have never ridden a bike with air shocks that I didn't think rode like crap(& I've had air shocks on a few different bikes), so I am really hoping the Draggin setup will be an exception to that rule. When I swapped from the awful HD air shocks to the 440's, it made an immediate very noticeable improvement in ride quality. As much as I want the adjustability of the air shock setup, if the ride quality suffers because of the change I will be reinstalling the 440's.
