Default Bitchin bagger shocks

Im getting some shock that were from them that were lowered to 10.75. Im putting them on my roadking with an 18" 150/70-18 tire. Solo riding do you think its going to rub the wires under fender. Anyone with these shocks what air pressure are you running?

I have the same shocks and tire on my '03 with no problems. I keep my psi on the shock at about 30-32lbs. I ride mostly solo and weigh 195lbs.

no way they will rub,
he modifies the shock so the bump stop on them will hit before your fender will touch the tire.

+1, I have a set of their shocks, the reason they lower the shocks instead of using lowering blocks is so the tire will not rub. If you ride solo and keep the proper air pressure in the shock you should be ok. If you plan on doing a lot of 2 up riding or weigh over 200+ you may want to reconsider.

Exactly - Stated on his website. I had a pair and loaded down, the tires would not hit the inside of the fender, damaging the wiring harness.
