I finally got some pics of them on the bike. Not the best pics but screw it I wanted to hurry up and ride today in the 80+ weather so I didn't have time to make the bike pose all nice.





I can actually flat foot and still have some bend in my legs now even with the Mustang seat on.

 

i love my progressives for the same reason...flat footed..

 

what you do with your barebones seat???

 

Hmm, bars need to be pushed up more.. j/k. Ride looks great man. I like the way my progressive's look, and I like that I can flat foot the bike, but thats just about it.. lol. These things ride so damn rough. But, oh well.. they were cheap and available at the moment so its good enough for now.

 

looks awesome! how long are those shocks?

 

I didn't know you were a small guy.

 

Who are we thanking for the progressives? I'd love to be able to thank someone for a pair- who do I talk to about this PIAB? Oh yeah, see attached.

 

Looks really good pig. I wish we had 80 degree weather to ride in.

 

I've still got it and use it all the time. I just yesterday put the Mustang seat on so I could get used to it before the Ironbutt ride in a couple weeks. I love the look of the Lepera seat a whole lot more but that Mustang seat is needed for a long ride. I'll put the Lepera back on after the Ironbutt ride.

Yea I know the bars need pushed up more. I've got the stock rubber bushings and they are really sloppy. I have about an inch or maybe more play in them. I'm always pushing them forward while riding hehe. I bought some polyurethane bushings and will be swapping them out when I finally put my 14 inch apes on. The bars will definately be pushed more forward then. I know I should just loosen up the bolts and push them forward now but I'm too lazy and will just do it when the new apes, cables, and bushings get installed.
I also agree about the shocks riding rougher but I can live with it (until I get so old I need a bagger anyways)
11 inches

I'm 5'11 with a 29 inseam.

I got a good deal on the shocks from Tweakin, he had them on his bike at first then decided to go with black shocks so I bought them from him.
The things on my forks are the brackets from the Memphis Shades Rio Grande quick release windshield. Here's a better pic of them.


And here's with the shield on





Thanks Tweakin.
Haha yea this weekend has been a blast. Great weather and it hasn't ended yet. Supposed to be 88 today and I'm off work. Gonna go riding again in a bit.

 

how has the shorter shocks affected handling for you?
