Slam my SB with Nightster 11" rear shocks w/pictures
#21
Hey guys, I took my bike for 80miles ride this morning, the shocks are totally fine, love the harder ride, corner so well. I know the shock springs are slightly smaller in diameter and made for Nightster, I don't see a problem. I recheck the peg brackets, not hitting what so ever, it doesn't seem to be an issue, keep an eye on it.

Hey 128.. not to hijack... but are you thinking about making any of those turn signal relocation "kits" at all over the winter? I read your thread on that mod and really liked what you did.. (I will use a chrome spacer instead) but it was really cool.. let me know if you do decide to.. ..and now... back to shocks..

Thanks for the kind words, I am not planning on production but you never know, something to do in the winter lol. Chrome spacer is cool but you will show the ugly nuts, the good thing about rubber boot is nothing expose, nice and clean. Keep you posted in the future ok

now you need to lower the front, i have the 11 in prog on back of my wideglide, after installing looked great but had that racked lood so i put race tech springs up front and lowered it one in, how looks great and handles super, even with the 21 wheel on front, i have had my girl on back and it is ok, but not for long rides and pot holes are a no no

I don't too worry about it now, my scoot will be in winter storage in 10 days. I have ordered some black progressive 430, should be here in a week or so, it will be my first winter project. Got these 11" Sportster shocks kicking around, good to experience. I am going to shoot some photos in my garage, keep you posted.

Mine is lowered with blocks, but an inch lower is an inch lower. The blocks or lower shocks move the caliper the same I would think.. A couple of weeks ago while riding I hit a pothole so hard with my rear tire that one my lids blew off of my FLH hard bags. After I noticed that the caliper had some of the coating chunked off & paint chiped off of the fender.
