That's a killer looking bike man. Like was said even a 10.5" shock will look fine.

I'm going to call Licks tomorrow and talk with them about their shock. I like the price, I just want to make sure they're a quality shock.

According to the few reviews there are on their website, they seems to be of good quality.

Well ended up going with the Burly's and it's like riding a cadillac now...haha. The stance didn't change, so I'm really happy how everything turned out.

I actually think it looks better with the shocks on it rather than the skinny struts! I almost wonder if going with hard struts, that they need to be square stock to match the swing arm and fender braces. Plus now you have a better ride. Looking sweet!

Having a better ride is an understatement! I enjoyed riding my bike before, but now all I can think about is taking it out...haha. We have a few more days of good weather, so I'm going to take advantage of it
