Is there anybody here that has 11" shocks that allso is a heavy weight? Looking for info on ride with these shorty's and a heavy 300lbs fella on it. Allso would like to see a comparison in 11" and 12" on a bike.

 

they will sell them but you will bottom out... i am 210 and bottom out with progressive and air shocks... as well as stock shocks cut and dampered... your going to have to run struts or 12's

 

I kinda figured they would bottom out some but the heavy duty version should support my weight ok but then again it may be too low for my old bones to handle. I sure like the look of it beeing lowered. My stock shocks are 12.5 inch and i would like to lower it as much as possible and still have some sort of comfort. Just trying to get some insight and find a happy medium on this.

 

I have the progressive heavy duty 11" shocks. I'm about 270 and they are just fine. I ride with the girl a lot too, and I have never bottomed out. I have them all the way stiff I believe.. go for it man.

 

I'm 190 lbs and the 11s and 11.5s bottomed out bad. I now have the 12" heavy duty 412s and have no problems. A little stiff but a much better ride than stock.

 

I'm 237 and have the 11 inch non heavy duty Progressive shocks and haven't bottomed out yet. I have them on the 4th notch. Kinda stiff riding but no bottoming out.

 

i am 275 lbs and i run the heavy duty progressives and i ride two up with my girl and shes around 170 lbs (good thing she doesnt read my posts lol)and we dont bottom out..and i have them on the 4th setting...

 

Well maybe the 11" heavy duty will work then. What about the kick stand? any mods to it?

 

Nah, kickstand is still fine for me. It has a bit less lean, but its not bad, or unsafe, for me at least..

 

Same as Adrian said. My kickstand didn't require any mods and it just leans a little less than it did before.
