I purchased this new rear shocks and the only thing I can saw Wow! The difference is day and night. The shocks are not cheap but they are worth it. I am planning to purchase the front forks upgrade for a winter project. With the rear shocks in my opinion you get a 75% better ride. You wont regret it buying this shocks.

 

10-4 on the Not Cheap !!

 

Not cheap but the improvement is great. Today I rode 2 up and I saw big improvement from the old shocks. Nothing is cheap purchashing Harley accessories.

 

Do you have a lift kit with your 14" shocks?

 

Yes the new shocks does come with a new lift kit, the new ride is amazing.

 

Seems odd that a 14" shock would still need another 1" of lift?

 

Maybe DK Customs can chime in.

 

I have the "1.25-2" lift kit from Triglide Stuff and Progressive 13" (standard length) shocks. The rear is high enough for me, for example, the bottom of my V&H mufflers is now 6" above ground which is plenty of clearance.
I don't know how high the rear of your trike is with the lift kit and 14" shocks but I didn't feel the need to install longer shocks.

Like you said, the ride is much improved.

 

I am not sure if 13' or 14' makes a big difference. The key is we have an improved ride from the stock rear shocks.

 

Yep. Improved ride was the most important factor for us too and it came thanks to much better shocks and the lift kit which changes the geometry of the front end and makes steering easier.
At the end of the week, I'll have Progressive springs installed in the fork. This should also improve the ride.
