Should be about the same or even a little lower than with the stock HD 13" air shocks since you can get the sag properly adjusted on most aftermarket shocks and you usually cant with the H D airshocks. The OP has a 12 CVO so I think they came with the 13" HD air

How, exactly do you measure the sag for these shocks and what should it be. I assume it should be the same no matter how much weight is on the bike, yes? And what of the other adjustment. I have mine set at 22 clicks, I think, from closed. I take it that is the dampening adjustment. How do you know when you have it properly adjusted.
