Yes they do. This SERK's are originally 12" too.  Reason I asked is I raised mine with the 330's. I raised the front too with 1" taller AK-20 Cartridge conversion. The taller ride height allows for a greater lean angle, increasing cornering ability. I did that to my FXR3 also. While doing this work, you have the ability to change back to a standard height suspension for better handling. Just making sure you're aware of that option.

Hoist!

Thanks but i like it low !! she leans over far enough for me. Havent been out run in the twisties yet ( by another harley )

what i found on the web:
WMT Performance Twin for 250-1200cc
        
Pair of rear shock absorbers with separate tank, compensated by pressurized gas (Nitrogen). Specific calibration for each motorcycle model.
Shock absorber body in high resistance steel alloy, with head in aluminium alloy fashioned from a single block by CNC Machine.

Adjustability:
- Micrometric metal ring for spring preload.
- Rebound (continuous ring)
- Compression (clicking knob on the top of separate tank)
Available version "02" (black springs) or "03" (crome springs), depending on the the application (Custom/Naked motorcycle)

NOTE: The displayed product is generic for WMT. Some characteristics (eg. attachments) can differ depending on the model application.

Are these the right ones?

What about the Nitrogen-reservoirs, don't they
scratch our saddle-bags? Are they mounted
reservoir down, as shown on some pics in this
forum?

thanxs, Bandit

[09S/E roadglide]

yes down with the res. forward. they rock got mine done this morning and i love em. take some getting used to cause is a drastic change but you can actually feel the road and she is much more responsive. I'm very happy with the money I spent. 

[Hoist!]

yes they are.

I gave you the P/N yesterday bandit. Make sure you order the HD version. They're slightly different than the version shown. The P/N I gave you comes right from the label on the box. Also, the reservoir goes in whatever direction you want, and you need to do to avoid it interfering with the saddlebags or anything else. On my FXR, it interferes with the belt guard, and can only be installed one way!

Hoist!

For the factory-visit, they are on holidays now.

Does anyone who has installed the bitubos can show pics
of them mounted. I remember a pic with the scarfs on the
inner-sde of the saddle-bags, but can't find it and don't
know if it were the bitubos or other shocks with resevoirs.

thanks, bandit

thanks, I appreciate your help!!!!!

Yes HOIST! you gave the p/n!!

but you have to view a pdf-catalog with 68 pages
to find them. They don't refer to the RoadGlide there,
cou'll find ElectraGlide and Roadking, but not RoadGlide.
Also the production-year is not very actual. The prize is
617 Euro, about 925$ no shipment included.

Don't know much about dealing directly with bitubo. I deal with their US ditributor, Traxxion. Maybe you can buy them from Traxxion cheaper than directly from bitubo. And don't go by the bike model. The shocks are all the same on the touring bikes. Even the FXR shock is the same. You just need to know whether you want 300mm's or 330mm's!

Traxxion Dynamics Ask for Dan or Mike.

Hoist!

[bandit]

Hi Hoist!,

don't forget I'm living in Europe, so buying at Traxxion would add
the shipping and the tax, which could end up at the same price
like here in switzerland. I know a guy working for their distributor,
(here in switzerland) so maybe I could make a deal with him.
Keep you informed.

thanxs, Bandit

Highjagger mentioned Oehlins and Wilbers. I contacted Oehlins
and they gave me another contact of a bike-shop selling their
shocks, because they have nothing in program which will fit.
I 'll have to bring one shock in, and he will measure everything
and maybe he'll make a special edition, if the price is alright.
When I have to bring my SERG for the rear-wheel-check and
abs-update, I'll do it. Let you know what will happen.

Some have tried the Ohlin's. They claim they're similar in performance to the Works Performance shocks. Those are somewhere between the Progesssive 440's and the bitubos. To get better adjustability and ride than the bitubos offer, the next step up is Penske's. But they're about $1200+up USD!

Good luck on whatever you decide bandit!
