Willem, welcome, glad you're here, you've come to the right place

And so this is your first bike, you've got good taste in choosing a first bike, looks pretty clean, you must draw a good amount of attention there riding around!

I've rode around your neck of the woods years ago, beautiful then, always got a kick out of the times I've passed through Amsterdam, wish I was there right now!

And how funny or just plain apropos but your first post was on 4-20

Cheers

 

Here's my 2007 Super Glide finished up as of a few weeks ago. Thunderheader, SE air cleaner kit with K&N filter, SE255 cams, Power Vision tune, Drag Specialties risers, Thrashin' high bend bars, Low Rider S rear shocks and some gloss black powder coat. More details here.

This bike is so much fun to ride!

 

Gents, I need some opinions and facts... I am ordering some rear shocks soon and cant decide if i want to do 13 or 14"... I am staying stock front length. A lot say go with 14" for max ground clearance but then there are a few people that say to not go over 13" on stock length front forks cause it will **** up the geometry and stability.. I currently have Progressive 412 with HD springs and 12.6" length and still scrap but I gotta get rid of the chrome..

 

Don't know your year and model, but on my 09 Low Rider I installed 13 inch shocks and the Bung King kickstand
lift. Worked for me.

One thing you might check is exhaust clearance at the lower shock mount.
With some systems it will hit.
Good luck.

 

I suggest the 13" unless you put tube extensions on the front, but that's just me.

 

I have the 13” Legends, with 1.5” Tin Works kickstand block and 2” front end.

I wanted 14” shocks, but was worried about the my chain rubbing the frame with sprocket gearing I am using.

The 13” worked perfect for my set up, but I still think 14” shocks look very cool:

 

I have 14" Revo ARC's on the rear and +2 Bitubo carts in front. I say go big or go home. If you get 13's chances are you'll want 14's.

I will say that even at 13" in the rear you should lift the front because, yes you are changing the geometry of the bike.

As noted, if you have long pipes, like my Thunderheader, you'll have to deal with interference issues with the rear shock mount and 14's.

EDIT: There is a 2" jiffy stand block you can't see.

 

Kind of an update, I guess. The new Whiplash seat showed up and if fits like a glove, take a look at the pic of the fender bracket. BUT they used the wrong material on the rider seat section, it was supposed to be smooth vinyl and its gripper. I emailed Carlos and we'll see what happens. I can't seem to catch a break with this seat swap thing.

 

Nice!!!!

 

Thanks. Yeah, it's going to have to go back though, my *** doesn't want that much grip.
