Default Rising Rear

You will just see more of the tire sidewall and you won't scrape the pegs as easily. Do it !

when i bought the bike in jan it had black 14 inch shocks
[IMG][/IMG]
i put on 11 3/4 shocks
[IMG][/IMG]
so i bought regular dyna shocks were supposed to be 12 inches but when i got them they were 13 1/2 but had lowering blocks ( look at swing arm it moves shock back so it lowers bike
[IMG][/IMG]
decided to remove lowering blocks for better ride and no scraping , so here she sits with 13 1/2 shocks

they are stock now with 12.5 and I was thinking about going to 13.5 but now thinking 13
to avoid too much tire exposure.

The bike in my sig and gallary has stock Road King shocks which are an inch longer. the bike basically sits an inch higher from the wheel and over the kickstand. Cant much see a difference when actually sitting on the bike.
