Yeah mochrome post some pics!!! Did the extra 1/2 inch in height on those shocks seem to make any appeareance difference?  [smiley=worthless.gif]

Ok guys, here's a pic. The extra 1/2 isn't noticeable, even to me with a 30" inseam

Thanks for posting pics.  Those babies look sweet.  I'll definitely be adding them to my Christmas list this year!

Thanks, also, for copying Vice Cow's (John's) post over here.  I think you've turned a bunch of us on to an upgrade we might not have otherwise considered. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

MoChrome, did the extra height help any with scraping paticularly in left hand turns ? I have notice my SEEG scrapes a lot worse than my old FLHTC.

I haven't had an opportunity to try them out in the twisties yet. I'm leaving Wednesday morning for a 6000 mile trip which will include riding conditions ranging from interstate highways to Montana mountains

Just a little tip that might help everbody save a few bucks, over the weekend I installed a pair of shocks on my SEEG that came off my 2001 FXDWG (my dyna has lowered progressive 440's I installed so the stock shocks where in the garage collecting dust) they measure 12-5/8", no more bottoming out and the height increase is a breathe of fresh air for cornering (I have the True-Track installed which makes the cornering angle worse/less than stock). For installation by yourself you will probably need a jack!!! This is why I don't usually sell the parts I take off/change you never know when they will be useful anyway you can find alot of these shocks on EBAY for under $50.

"I have the True-Track installed which makes the cornering angle worse/less than stock."

I installed a set-up called Ride-Str8. A friend at work (aerospace design engineer) designed and makes them. It uses an OEM swing arm bracket with a 3/8" cold rolled steel bracket welded to it. Attached to that is a stabilizer arm that attaches to another bracket that bolts on to the oil pan. I put one on my bike and so far no wobbles. Its a nice set-up and took about an hour and a half to install. It does not affect ground clearance at all.

mw, how do we get one?!?

[mw8385]

The guys name is Dan and he can explain things better. You can contact him on his cell phone. His number is 949-306-4616 (Orange County, CA). He doesn't have a web site yet. There a bit pricey. I think he is charging about $510 for the complete unit. If you trade your bracket in it will be about $50 or $60 less.

Thanks for the quick reply.  You're right about being a bit pricey, but so is everything H-D.  That is one sweet-looking setup, though.  Is the black powder coated or painted?

[mw8385]

It is black powder coated.

Hey mw, can you take a lower profile picture (I want to see how much ground clearance you lose)
