I was researching lowering options for the breakout and found these air shocks . Anyone heard of these or tried them? If there decent quality they could potentially be plusher then the progressive 422

Now for the question. When I replaced my stock air cleaner with the PM HP, I couldn't find a decent spot to put the wires that were plugged into the back of the stock air cleaner. Anyone have a good fix for this?

I would post a pic of what I'm talkin g about, but this is my first post and it won't let me.
Welcome! unfortunately I have zero idea on this- I'm sure one of the knowledgeable members will chime in.

Won't fit a softail / wrong type of shock. Softail shocks are very specific in fitment and there are differences between early model softail and late model softail. Your options here are Works, Shotgun, Legend (there are others but these are the popular quality ride options). I'd rate the Progressive's as "so-so".

Hi Teddy
I had the same issue on my Breakout.. I bought a small heat shrink kit with some large sizes and closed off the connector by sealing it in Heat Shrink. Then just pushed it kind of behind the manifold and it sticks there and is out of sight and with the connector sealed of then no harm should come to it.. hope this will help.

Thanks for the reply. Thought I was missing something. But your remedy sounds pretty straight forward. By the way, I was reading your bike details in your sig...holy $#!+! Do you have a build thread?
