Good day Gentlemen. Can anybody enlighten me on what length the factory shocks are on my bike. It's a 2001 CVO RG. I am not home and it will be at the end of June before I am home.
I am wanting to replace the current factory air shocks with a shorter length Shock in an attempt to lower the rear end an inch or two. I have a copy of the manual and looking through it, it does not tell me what length the current shock is. I figure replacing the current shock with a shorter shock would give me the desired effect I’m looking for.

Any suggestions and advice welcome

 

Street Glide shocks may be 1 inch shorter

 

the current length is approx 13.5. Street glide shocks are 12.5

you can probably achieve a better stance by purchasing something different than street glide shocks.

if you want an air ride, check out arnott. if you want a real shock, check our JRI or Olins. Motorcycle Metal is a forum sponsor and sells these shocks.

Invest once, not multiple times.

 

Ok, Thanks for the reply, I would like to keep the current air system on it, but just a shorter stock. I was thinking around 11 inch shocks.. Do they make anything like or would I have to scrape the entire system that is on it?

 

if you want 11's i would call bitch'n baggers, they do some type of shock mod on you stock shocks, that gets them down to 11

Thanks I found their website and that is the route I think Im going to take.

 

If you putting on shorter shocks make sure you have your chiropractors # handy when you get back from your ride you'll probably need it. Just saying.
