Question Feedback on Harley lowered Air Shocks

Hi Ya'll,

Has anyone any 1st hand info on swapping out the stock air shocks w/ the Harley lowered air shocks?

Here's what I'd like to know:

1) Any improvement or negative change in ride quality? ( have a touchy neck with going over the tar cracks and the beating that gives)

2) Did you really notice much change in height (looks like they only lower 3/4" if the info is correct)

Thanks for the feedback. I can get my hands on new take offs for about $100 and want to know if it is worth doing.

HHH ( means: Health, Happiness, Harley's )
my closing I thought up & started using about 4 years ago

Jack Allen

you need to mess with the air in the shocks and the tires it will make a diff and if the rear tire has ben rode underflated and is squared off will make the bike handle funny

Assuming you're talking about the Roadking . About 3/4 inch difference and it will be stiffer , less travel , and ride kinda like a Street Glide . $100 bucks is a good deal !
