Default '04 - '06 Customs Sporties with lowering shock

Hi all.

I have a friend that has an '06 1200 Custom and they are interested in putting some shock on their sportster to help lower the rear of the bike. I researched it a bit and found that Progressive makes an 11" (is stock 11-1/2????) and another company named Licks makes a 10".

Does anyone have the Licks website?

Could people please post pics of your lowered customs and let us know what size shock you are running? She'd like to make sure she gets the right look before laying out the cash for a set.

Thanks in advance!!!!

-Denis

The stock shock on a 1200C is 11-3/4". Most peolple here seem to be using 11" progressives to lower the 1200Cs. Sorry no pics.

The 11" Progressives actually ride MUCH better than the stocks. With a 150 tire, anything less is gettin close!
