Lugnut,
The pix are good.  The shocks installation looks good and professional. Now, tell the wife that you are spending the money that you saved on labor on a ride this spring(with her).  She'll probably ask you what else you would like to do to the bike and what the rewards to her will be for that.

Got my sleeve yesterday and guess what - they sent the WRONG ONE!  The one they sent is too short and the shoulder is too thick.  My 20-minute shock install is turning into a 2-week ordeal and that is only if they overnight the correct one this time like I asked and I get it wrapped up this weekend.   [smiley=furious.gif] [smiley=furious2.gif] [smiley=furious3.gif]

Well, it looks gently used, but I finally got the correct sleeve today.  Two weeks after starting this, I should be able to get done with the install this weekend.  Glad I decided to do this during the winter instead of riding season.

The 12.5 helped with the draging floorboards in curves. But I still drag the kickstand from time to time.

Had the local HD shop install the adjustable air shocks w/ on-board pump so that I can drop it 'in the weeds' for either looks or ease of manuverability around a parking lot and raise it way up for cornering ground clearance while riding the twistys.......have been very pleased (after getting over the initial cost).  Makes the Black & Blue SEEG fit me better since I'm a old timer chopper rider that can never seem to get my current Harley to sit as low as my ole hard-tailed knuckle.

O'Fender, air shocks system made by Legend, not sure of the model #....I had the HD Dealer order it to fit the '04 SEEG and install it during set-up.  Cost was a little over $1600 if I remember right.  I've been very pleased w/ it.

WOW What a ride. Winter is over. Went for a ride and was off in la la land listen to the XM radio with the hog tunes when I started thinking this bike rides like my SE Road Glide when I remembered I changed the shocks. What a differents. Then I started looking for the bumps and pot holes. Ended up twisting them 2 1/2 turns from the top. I weight 250 and I got the 12.5 HD 440. Anyone on the fence about this upgrade, DO IT. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Brian I just put the chrome bezels pieces over my speaker grills. You don't have them do you.
