Has anyone installed longer shocks on a 2011 or up Custom? Anyone have pictures and feedback on their setup?

 

I have 13" Progressive 412's installed. I did it to quicken up the steering, gain lean angle and for better ride quality. Accomplished all 3.

Requested pics:

 

I have 13" Hagons on my 2011 SuperLow and have also sorted out sag on the front forks, so front and rear are lifted a similar amount. Why do you ask?!

 

Nice Ride, Super clean. Love those wheels!

 

Modular, did you do anything to the front, did belt need to be adjusted?

 

Ohlins 3-3's on my 2011 Sportster 1200 Custom. Rides like a dream.

 

13 inch RK shocks on mine, cheap and easy mod:

 

Yes, I did do some work to the front end. I installed RaceTech springs, Roland Sands adjustable preload fork caps (for ease of setting preload/sag) and dropped the fork tubes until flush with the top tree.

I checked the belt tension with a belt tension tool and it was still within spec nicely.

 

Thank you sir! Great looking bike. It looks nice with the longer shocks. Any thoughts/advice about just swapping the rear shocks without the front end work, at least initially?

 

Just bought a 2013 1200C and was starting thinking about initial mods!
