Default Wide Glide and 944s

Just looking to buy some 444s (not 944s can't find how to change the title of the thread)... Don't see the need to go overboard on the 970s. I'm 195 (hoping to lose a few of those) The gal doesn't ride with me often, so probably the Standard spring....

What length though?? Is 12" the stock length?? I don't want to lower at all... 12.5 give some extra lean angle??

I'm 5'10" and have no issues putting the feet on the ground...

Helpful thoughts as to what to go with for length and the why of it?

Maybe even some pictures

Junior

I went with 444 12.5 on my 2012 wide glide. Half inch taller than stock. Progressive cartridge mono tubes up front with 90-90 -21 tire. Alloy art stabilizers, handles great. What year is your wg. Did

Standard spring rate 444 - good ****

Shouldn't need 1/2 unless you just want it (jack up the *** end like an old school hot rod ) - remember to correctly set the sag

Thanks for the feed back y'all!

My WG is a 2012 as seen in my "signature"... Going to relocate the coil this next week, and then I'll look at shocks next month.

Durham, your WG is looking sharp! Love that she(?) gets to lounge around on the carpet! Talk about a pampered ride!

thank you, I’ll tell yu, after almost 6 years of ownership she still stops me in my tracks and I say to myself, I can’t believe I own this bike. Wide glides are everything a Harley should be, in my eyes. Good luck with yours,you have a great bike!
