Well took the bike out with the new 11" 412s and had one blew out spritzing oil on the rear of the bike.

I like the low ride, so I think I will try struts to check the feel then maybe get a seat with springs.
Got some 12" struts to try if I like I will make some 9"s or 10"s I figure that is around long the 11" shocks are when I am on the bike.

 

where the shocks bottoming out man/.... that could have caused the problemo man

 

Oh yeah, they busted my azz a few time when I took it out yesterday.

They were only the standard not the heavy duty, they were for a Dyna so I am going to see if Progressive will warranty it if so I got a bud that weighs less and he said he may take them.

I will probably get some HD 412s unless I like the struts and decide to go spring seat.

 

yeah man i think they where just destroying the shock with your weight since there not heavy duties.......they hav limited travel right??

 

Rat ...

Hate to hear that about the Progressives ..... they looked really good on your bike. I would think they should make good on them as they were new. I must say that I cant wait to see the pics with the struts!!
