I got Howards shocks last week and installed them...Install was really easy.No spacers were needed. Drop the sag with rider on the back down to 28.7mm.. I am flat footed for the 1st time since owning the bike (5'7").
Took the bike out for a spin on sat...Big diff in ride..The wife comment on how much better the ride was ..Thanks Howard.. Heres a pic from the back showing the yellow springs..A lot of people ask about the shocks we were parked...

 

Cool Mike,

No matter what you do, what you ride, and where you go, when the "little" woman is unhappy, her mouth can be an inch away from your ear reminding you for as long as SHE wants to do so. I have found that the whole world will suck, but when she is content at-least she could look around and might not talk to you about discomfort, being gratified on doing so. I am happy that you are enjoying your ride for a change.

 

Howard is the man , by the way Howard I put a few hundred miles on my JRI B's this weekend and they are about broken in , I LOVE THEM Thanks Tim

 

Hard to explain the difference until you ride with these. Howard does great work, love mine. Best mod for me. Congrats!
