Damn.... Now this has me rethinking 13" shocks. Deciding on shocks has probably been the hardest mod to figure out. I thought I was set on a set of HD 816 Ohlins, but I was just thrown into a tailspin after seeing these 13.5s
What's your plans for up front?
looks great, by the way.
Thanks! I appreciate it man. I love the shocks. I know there are guys on here dropping more coin for theirs and no doubt that they are better shocks, but for now these work for me. I was a little afraid of the seat height asi am a bit vertically challenged at 5'8, but there is that much difference straddling the bike. I could actually tell the difference in the suspension just backing it out of the garage. It was the is single best mod that I have made.
I'm probably going to run some Race Tech Emulators up front. I'm actually doing some research on those right now.

Street Bob and s share same everything but rear shocks , mags, dual disc, motor size . So Dk what made the street Bob feel different to you to make it better . Maybe bars being higher ?
Possibly.
But the pegs felt a bit too far forward (less comfortable for standup riding - perhaps that was a seat difference), and overall, the SB felt more
(and I know I'm going out on a limb here, but for lack of a better word)
"flickable".
Maybe it felt looser, and therefore more like my DX.
Might be wrong, but I thought the Lowrider had different trees and a slightly different rake?
Well just to be sure I wasn’t going out of my mind, I checked the MoCo's site and "compared bikes" and there's a few more differences as far as weight, ground clearance, rake, trail, lean angles, seat height, yadda, yadda, yadda
Not great individual amounts by any stretch, but maybe once you put it all together...

I just traded my 2015 SB in for an S. To me its a world of difference in the S favor.
You are correct the S has the further forward mids, the S is also 2" higher than SB. And the S also has the premium front cartridge.
Idk if it matters or not but the directions specifically say NOT to mount these upside down.

I read that, but I also thought it said for certain models. I'll go back and double check. My stockers were upside down so just mounted them the same direction. They ride great. Thanks for looking out!
I'm 5'8" too. Love my 13.5 Ohlins, but wouldn't go higher.
I also have +2" forks. Get cartridges for the front, Adreani or if you have coin - Ohlins
