It works on my 14 limited! On the LA chopper site it shows it fits your bike! Maybe give them a call .

What about interference with the saddlebags?

E-mailed LA Choppers, explained I have HD touring shocks on a 13 ultra limited and they told me the shocks would hit there bracket and wouldn't work!

I have a 2014 SGS and I have tried installing the LA Choppers lowering blocks. In order to give the shock enough clearence you will need to use spacers. However, if you use the same spacers top and bottom your shock will hit the saddle bag. If you have a SG with the Harley air shocks you will not need the spacers but the rubber boot will rub against the lowering block.
I have also tried the road 6 style which changes the shock angle and again the SGS Premium shocks do not work with the 1" drop. You need to go all the way down to the second setting which is a 2" drop. I wasn't comfortable with the clearence after the 2" drop.
In the end I decided to sell my Premium Hand adjustables and get progressive 11.5 444's. I also did the low single cartridge premium front forks.1" lower in the front and 1/2" lower in the back did the trick. So far so good! It got my feet flat enough for me to beable to back the bike up while in the saddle.

you need this...
lower it when needed and rides better than with the hand adjustable premium shocks when aired up. Wife can almost touch flat footed when down. Aired up it is easily an inch or more lower than stock.
