Default Shock/ tire questions
I have a 09 SG that has rear 18" Agitator wheel ( the front is 18" as well). I'd like to use the new Progressive 944 ultra shocks (13")... but not sure if the tire will rub...
Anyone else try this combo? Results?...thx

Dude, I could be wrong as I have not run the 18" wheel. I do have the 944's on my '10 SG, I don't see why you would have problems if you are running the stock shocks now. They are the same ride ht as the 944's.

I run the 11.5" 430's with no rub issues. Same year bike. Same rear wheel.
