Sorry I missed responding to your question SpiderPig...but since you have had a chance to meet and talk with Howard, you probably have all the lowdown. You will enjoy the JRI's.

The key to good suspension on a Harley Davidson? Throw the damn stock air **** into the ocean and call Howard.

You are gonna love those shocks, Howard is a great guy, sold me a pair of Ohlin #3 #3s and insisted on walking me thru the install on my bike over the phone, from Florida! I rode up and back from San Diego to Sturgis, rode 7 to 8 hrs a day, the year before did it with the stock setup and it was night and day the difference. Congrats man!
