I'm looking for some feed back from anyone using lowering blocks with the standard height HD Premium Ride Shocks..I have them on a 12 RGU and would like to lower the bike one inch ...

 

They will not work

The springs hit the block, and you can't get the bolts in.

I have the lowered hand adjustable shocks on my Limited and love them.

 

Buy the lowered shocks. I have them and find they are much better than the original air shocks.

 

I put them on my 10 limited, 13" standard did 2500 miles to Colorado and back with about 30lbs of gear and stuff you take on a road trip and it was like a new bike..
Well worth it, was a great ride compared to the air shocks.

Pick them up from Kutter or Surdyke for a lower price.. Don't think you'll regret it..

 

Seems like bunches of people with 13" shocks want to trade them out for the 12" shocks to lower their bike. This applies to both air shocks and premium hand adjustables.

Others with the 12" shocks want to trade them for 13" for more travel.

Might put in classifieds...want to trade 13" for 12". Trade even across.

The hand adjustables don't leak oil in shipping like the air shocks. Makes the swap easy. Just two bolts to take them off.

Maybe someone will see this post and offer to trade : >)

 

I may trade.

I have the 12" premiums because they would not work with blocks on my wife's SGS, so I bought a set of take off 12" aur shocks and out on her bike, and couldn't see wasting a set of premium shocks, so I put them on my Limited.

I would like to go to the 13" premiums.

 

Put the 12s on my ultra. Wife noticed how much nicer the ride was and didn't know I had changed them. Why the h e ll does the MOCO put those junk air shocks on I have no idea.
