Mine never rubbed.I've had my belt guard off and it looks like you can move it around a little playing with the washers and the mounting tabs.

RE: Airshock question for street bob
What's the deal with the airhoses for the shocks ? do you need to have them or can you set the pressure on each so there are no lines ?
What sort of oil is used in them ?
thanks

RE: Airshock question for street bob
The rubbing I got was on the belt cover. I have the shorter shocks which may have hit more that Ed's longer shocks. You would have to space the shock out a little to keep it from hitting. I just removed the belt cover.
You can supply the air in two different ways.
One way is to put a single valve on each shock. You can find the valves at your local hardware store near the air tools. They are only a couple bucks.
I used these because I had to order the air line kit from HD and wanted to get these shocks mounted.
I don't like the single valvesas much because it's a little harder to get both shocks filled evenly unless you have the special pump.
The second way is to order the air line kit from HD which is $30.00 and you barely get enough line to do it. I installed the valve under the seat and ran the lines under the struts. One side was a little longer, but the other side just made it.
I am thinking about selling these if anyone is interested. I need parts for my other bike and need money more than I need these shocks. PM or Email if interested. I will sell the shocks with less than 75 miles on them AND the air lines.
