Default Butt sag

OK, now that I have your attention

One of the things that just does't look right to me is the way the TG sits...the rear end is too low...

Has anyone tried different rear shocks? Or do they even make taller ones?

Just wondering.....

Never thought much of it, don't know how raising the back would change the handling.

Maybe its an illusion because of the tour pak and big rear seating on the Ultra. I dont think the XXX looks saggy.

I would think it has the grounds for concern. When you accelerate from a start off. Im sure that rear end drops a little. With the 4" pipe to ground clearance. Ill bet you all take a big chance when exiting a drive-way onto a busy street. I dont run a tri-glide. Im guessing that maybe you can fine air shocks like they have for autos out there.
