my #3-#3 never bottom , the lowest you can set them is 12 3/4" and with the extra 3/4" over the 12" stock shocks on my bike I rarely scrape in turns anymore either

 

Neither do mine, even when loaded up with the kitchen sink! First shocks in almost 40 years of Harley ownership that don't bottom out at some time.

 

I bought the #3-3's (13" shocks), have them installed but, because of winter have to wait until spring to get some miles on them and dial them in. I am sure I made the right decision because, they have to be better than the stock air shocks.

 

Ditto for my $400 HD Premium Ride shocks and the hand adjuster makes the preload a cinch to adjust.

Yup. I ride aggressively with my sport-touring buddies in the mountains and always run out of cornering clearance long before the shocks are pushed anywhere near their limit.

 

How do you like the HD Premium Shocks? Can you compare them to any others? These are one of the sets I am considering when I upgrade.

 

what are my stock Street Glide shocks 12 ? 12.5 ? 12 3/4 ?

 

BTW - i tried the HD P-shocks... better than stock and similiar to progressive shocks.. but i still think not good enough for the stock height of a FLHX which i lower than a Ultra series.....wouldnt be surprised they make them for HD.... to what i understand, your comparing Apples to Prunes when talking about Ohlins and HD shocks...

 

tj tells you in his post! Like you he has an SG and has replaced his stock 12" shocks. Howard can supply his shocks in different lengths, so give him a call and discuss your requirements, so he can recommend a suitable length.

 

Stock on Street Glides and Road Glide Customs is 12" , the #3-#1 are 12" , I went with the #3-#3 , the lowest you can adjust these is 12 3/4" , stock on other bikes is 13" , so I'm 3/4" taller for my bike 1/4" lower than other bikes , I wanted the longer stroke of the #3-#3 over the #3-#1

 

The OEM 12" shocks only have about 2" of travel, while the 3-3s are 12 3/4"-13 1/4", they have a little over 3" travel, so what they gain in length they make up for in travel, when seated on my SG with the 3-3s the height is about the same as my stock 12" air shocks.
