Another pic.. sorry first time posting guys.

[roadzilla]

The bike is lowered 1" front, and the shocks are 12" with the 1" lowering bracket (?), took off the Legends Air Ride.. I'll post more specifics this afternoon.

                                                   I believe that the 2014 SERK has 1 inch lower stock front suspension    Billy

I know for a fact the 13 SERK is stock height, 98% positive the 14 is also.  Seems there was only one or two years the mid 2000's with the SEEG's that the front was also lowered.  Seems the CVO Street glide for 15 also has stock height front.  So if the 14 SERK was lower front that would be strange.

Hello, I just had these installed on my 09 screaming eagle road glide yesterday, we did the front and rears.. I'm waiting on paint now (should be done this week)(stretched bags, Yaffe fender) and I'll let everyone know how it handles. Bike has a 21' front and a 16' rear (went from an 18' rear) I ride hard in the corners and motor is a 117  built by Trask. 128hp/118 Tqe

Those are what I have on my SERGU, only in 13 inch, love them.

Dave, what are you running up front?

I run these same shocks on the rear and HD premium cartridges on the front (Ohlins were not available at the time). It raised my rear up 1 inch which you can't really notice when when you look at it but made a big difference in clearance which I love. I run them hard also and it is night and day from the stocks. Worth every dime IMHO

Dave, what are you running up front?

I am running stock up front.  The stock front on the 14/15 bikes are better than the 13 and ealier bikes.  I am thinking about doing the front, but the rear was critical as I hated the stock air shocks.

Ohlins set up my Motor Officer shocks when they installed them in Daytona.  The length on these are adjustable.  The tech asked me if I could handle another 1" of height, which was the maximum extension.  This was not a problem for me.  The difference in handling and wheel control was immediately evident.  I had the service manager put some miles on my bike after the engine rebuild - I was out of town for a week and wanted him to assure that he was satisfied with the rebuild.  He was astounded in the difference in handling on my bike with 90K miles to a new bike with the stock suspension.

Well finally found another deal on some Ohlins.  This time they are the 12" model.  Here is the spec sheet.  My specs are a 2012 RGC CVO and I weigh about 180 with gear.  I hope someone can interpret the specs and let me know how these will do or if I will need different springs. 
These came of a 2009 Street Glide with about 12k on them, any idea if these will need a rebuild based on those miles?

Here's a pic of the actual shocks.

Unless they got abused (off-road, extreme weight) 12K is nothing.

My Ohlins #6 should be here by next week. I can't wait to try them out!

[YELLOWBIRD]

Without a doubt, one of the best shocks out there!

Love my Ohlins 2-2A's.

Bonus: matching Yellow springs!

Roadzilla - what are the cannisters mounted to?  Hard to see from the picture.

[Ripcord]

Tjablons - you can see pics of my set-up here:

The pics will show you the mounting points. My bike is a SERG so it's a slightly different set-up but you'll get the idea.
