Thanks in advance

you wont get the drop, on a cvo. will stay the same. I measured nmine before and after, exactly same height at the rear

I am saving up for the 940's to install on my 06 SG. Will probably have to wait until after the riding season since I just finsihed my cam swap.

We just called Progressive and the 13" 940 shock is designed to drop 1" with the weight of the bike and rider. This is what we hoped as the CVO RG Ultra has stock 13" shocks. I believe the other non Ultra CVO's have 12" shocks.

Anyone have any problems with kick stand lean using 940"s?

Thanks K
