i'm looking at your bike and mine and i can't even see where they would mount....

if you remember.... send me a post when its done... i'm very curious.....

maybe, i'll send out a thread...asking if anyone has ever used this or have pictures so i can get a better ideas about it....

this setup sounds exactly what i need.... longer shocks but not gaining any height in the process...

I went with the 440's on my Roadster. I got tired of the Pogo-ing over the expansion joints here in Ventura County just north of Los Angeles on Highway 101. The 440's smoothed it out immensley. Along with the Progressive fork springs. I also ride fairly aggressive and scrape side stands, pipes, and footpegs. Its a bit more difficult with the 440's on it. Not too much more in the way of clearance, but the travel that IS there is much better.

What size 440's would you want on a nightster?
