« on: April 05, 2020, 01:02:56 PM »

I would assume the seller had a similar train of thought as you. Cheaper so I'll give em a try. I'll bet they are now running Legends or similar as you mentioned. While I'm sure they are better than stock, I love my Legends. FWIW

For which bike?

If for the Limited which came with 13" shocks, Not sure I'd give up that extra inch with the extra weight on the  Limited vs a non Limited. And, IIRC,  You've mentioned the Shark will be more for 2up touring which means extra weight due to the BSR and gear. Just my 2 cents.

No...for the Street Glide

The reason he is selling is because he got a great deal on a set of Legends......I was originally going to go with those...just was considering this since the Street Glide with be solo riding only and less miles per year now.

the part number that he is showing in his ad says 944-4020ut.  that is a 13'' shock, that sits at 12''.  which for a street glide would be okay.  but, it is the heavy duty spring.  if you are planning on riding solo, it is gonna be one stiff mofo.
