    I went with the 13" shocks also and really like the ride much better than the stock. The o.e.'s are 11" for the "slammed" look, but only slam your spine with no travel and hard valving.

    BTW Snydley, I fought hard to get the Brembos included as standard equip. on FL's after '06. V-Rods got them in '04.

    best upgrade I ever did on my bagger was to do the complete brembo upgrade to my flhtc the master was a pain in the arse cause the lever did not match the old one other than that I love the one finger pull from 60 and she just rolls to a stop with little pressure . grab a hand full and you know!you have brakes.

    Well, Got the new Progressive air shocks on the St.Glide. I was riding with 36 PSI( I weigh about 260), Took it over some R.R. crossings at 18 PSI. Feels better(softer) and didn't bottom. Dropped it to 15 PSI. 'Gonna do about 60 mi. 2nite. Let's see how that goes. Looking like a good investment so far. :D

    Well, at 15 PSI I still felt I could take the pressure down some. Now at 10 Psi. Rides a lot softer,Can feel much more travel,no bottoming. Love 'em.:D
