Agree I was planning on moving my Pro Action Shocks to my 17 but this thing has an amazing suspension I see no need to upgrade it

I had no problem with the new rear shocks, but I did the length. So I went to Howard for a pair of his 2-2(a)...Much better :-)

So, you had the stock wheels chromed? They look great - especially with the chrome lowers.

They came and got my bike today to put chrome lowers on.

BTW, love the subtleties of the new paint. Nice work!

Thanks..
Actually, these are chromed Street Glide/Road King Custom wheels. The new RK's come with the impeller wheels..
I used my old 2007 Road King Custom as a theme...I could have put the theme together better with a nice set of leather bags but the custom paint took care of that option..
