When mounting these shocks on 2-wheel Touring Models with or without lowering blocks, make sure docking hardware for sissy bars and Tour-Paks, and any other add-ons, do not come in contact with the shock body when the shocks is fully compressed. This is usually not an issue, but with some quick-release set-ups there can be contact. You can use spacers between the shocks and the frame, or modify the docking hardware if more clearance is needed.
LOL, I don’t think the quick release hardware is bulky. I had my machinist make me up some aluminum spacers. Though, it’s quite a bit of spacing to clear them, so I opted for grinding off some of the metal from the side brackets. Never even noticed this issue as my 17’ CVO I almost exclusively used the chopped tour pak which doesn’t mount there. Wasn’t until picking up my 19’ CVO (waiting on tour pak to come in) that I put a sissy bar on it to realize it didn’t fit. The shocks them self have been great.

On on a side not, wonder if Pro Action couldn’t machine off part of the aluminum on the inside, or enough that spacers would work well enough.

Thanks for all the information. I had the bike out with my new Stage 2 kit (WM8-22X cam is awesome btw) this weekend. Loaded and 2 up with my girl the stock shocks actually performed very well. Perhaps i won't worry about shocks after all, although the Progressive 944s look interesting.
