Hey 128 auto, thanks... it's a 2009 Iron. Also, jamesr242 is correct it's a Joker Machine A/C. Thanks again, my Iron has come together well... with lots of help and ideas from the forums.

BSW3 - Yea bro, no problem at all. I think they were about a 1/2" higher than the stock shocks. But they fit nooooo problem. The only problem was all the worthless n00bs at the auto parts stores while I was tryin to find the valve plugs. Went to 3 stores, then finally Napa, and despite the toothless, brainless cooter behind the desk who asked if I needed help, then promptly gave none, I was able to help myself and search out the parts. Don't forget there's fluid in them shocks........I did
warm fluid should not be shot in MY direction......
. Went on a 200 mile run today and oh did those shocks treat me right. Ohh also Slolane was right I too had to put on some washers to clear the belt guard.
BTW Slolane........F@$%IN LOVE your bike bro!

I have an extra set of Street Glide shocks that I want to install on my '99 Sportster. What size washers do I need to space them out from the belt guard and will the stock bolts be long enough with the washers installed? If not, does anyone know what size and length bolts I will need? I want to have the parts in hand before starting the project.
Thanks,
Jim

i think the washers are 5/8" but if i were you i'd take one shock off and take the outer washer to the hardware store to find a similar piece.
