Took a chance on some 11" HD replacement shocks.They actually measure 10 3/4" from hole center to hole center. Dropped the rear fender quite a bit plus they look pretty good. They're kind of stiff but I'm a heavy load and they are fine 2 up. $140

nice find, thats valuable information right there. You should post all the model info/dimensions on them, if any, for use by others in the future.

Tech vault possibly?

Good looking bike. I was looking for fully shrouded shocks when I upgraded, they look nice. However, after seeing them mounted, I don't think they would look as good on my bike as they do yours.


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Nice bike, shocks look good. Do you scrape your pipes on turns?

I have drug the pipes a couple times but it could be avoided. With the key switch, fuse block, and the solinoid mounted in the box its pretty full.

These shocks did not bolt right on. they came with HD inserts that I pressed out with a bolt and a bench vise and then replaced with insert from BA stock shocks then some of the rubber had to be trimmed. Couple of hours couple of trips to the hardware store.

Is that an eagle logo on the bottom of the shock?
