I just installed them on my 09 RKC. I have noticed a big diff from the stock air shocks, makes my ride a lot smoother and they are easily adjustable. Also I am 5' 10" and very noticable with the inch lower difference, much more comfortable sense of confidence handleing the weight of the bike.

We run the 940's and Mono tubes on an Ultra Classic, like said firmer ride, not harsh, but not that floating down the road feeling. I tell folks it closer to a sport bike feel. Takes a little trial and error to get them adjusted to your liking, but once you find the sweet spot, they are great.

Is there enough adjustment from solo to two up to two up fully loaded.?
Any issues with the 1" lower.

I have the 940's on my RK now.... I like the firmness of the ride and the bump absorption is much better than the air shocks.... my problem is I would like to get the preload lighter and I can't. I weight 190 and have the shocks set as light as they will go and they never bottom out, even two up with a 130 pounder clinging to my back.... I think I would run them lighter if I could, but overall performance is very good and not having to mess with the air is great.

There isnt any technical info as far as what rider/passanger and max load weight these will handle.At least I could'nt find any on their site.
I know some of the other companies set the shocks up for the riders weight etc-,maybe this why they are more expensive.
Also with these being lower,any issues with bottoming out the tire and fender and how about the lowered effect on the jiffy stand?
So can anyone chime in?
