Should have bought sooner

I put these shocks on my 2008 Sportster. Raised the back end two inches. Best decision I've made. The ride is incredible. Not only does it ride smooth, but now it dips and leans SO much better than before. Gonna do the same to my other motorcycles.<br /><br />It was incredibly easy, too.

Worth the money

Used to run 412s and I will never not spend the money on quality suspension. Having the lighter duty option for me as a rider at 170lbs has made all of the difference riding solo or 2 up. It?s like riding on a cloud but still feels confidence inspiring in corners. Phenomenal shocks
