Re: shocks for bags
For cruisers.... KYB's and the Monroe's are good shocks to go with. If you are into "curves" nothing beats a good adjustable shock.......

Re: shocks for bags
I run stock shocks front and rear. The fronts hold up lift a bit but are cheap and ride nice. I run the slam RS bag in the front and I think the rear are HS.

Re: shocks for bags
I have stock shocks up front ('73-'87), made by monroe p/n 34817, 9.875" compressed, and 14.625" extended. I also have monroes out back as well (don't remember the part #). Check out their website, they have a data sheet with all the shocks that show the compressed and extended lengths.

For the front, no. My rear end is custom built, so yeah those shock mounts were changed. |
