Does anyone have them installed on softail years 2000-2006? How do you like the ride and is it easy to adjust?

We have sold a few of these and the response from our customers has been very positive. No one at our facility has personal experience with them but all indications are that adjustments are very easy.

The installation is pretty straight forward. It probably took a couple of hours to install. I actually returned them, due to they were too stiff at the lowest setting. I typically ride solo, but even with the wive on backof my bke, they were a little too stiff for me. I did buy the Progressive Suspension 422 non-adjustable shocks and am happy with them.

I installed these last year on my 2002 Z71. Obviously, I don't remember exactly what the "new" ride was like with the OE shocks but I have been very pleased with these. Definite body roll reduction and firm but comfortable ride. RECOMMEND!

I have had this bike for a couple years. It works good. I had to do some adjusting on the gears when I first got the bike - but it has worked good for me. Good brakes too.

I put them on a standard ten speed without modifying. You may need to spread the forks or trailing arms slightly but it is a fairly easy modification. Make sure the wheels will accept the disk

I'm also 6.1 and have had this bike for a little over 2 years now. With some minor adjustments the bike is perfect and strong considering the cost.

I installed them on a 2003 lowrider. We had to drill new holes to get them to fit comfortably, but they are nice for the price...

If your riding in a pretty trash free environment you can expect over 2000 easy, but I ride in an area that usually forces me to retire a set due to cuts before they wear out. But they are smooth and good handling over all. Good for climbing, less to push with more pushing..

Yes. I have them on my 02 sporty custom and I weigh 260. I love the ride but realize they are short. Short means less travel. Less travel means stiffer ride. It's not like riding on struts by any means but you're going to notice a difference. Personally, I love them. I love the lower profile, the look, the ride is better too. Go with them, you won't be sorry.

I love mine and would definitely recommend it. Make sure to install them as close to your frame as possible. I ran over a piece of retread tire this weekend and busted my from led . " Oh the Pain!"

I have them on my 2010 JKU and 2014 JKUR. No issues. Love the tread pattern, like the traction and they way they ride. If you wheel, the mud cleans out easily when on the trails. Without a lift, you may get some rubbing if adults sit in the back seat.

Yea, i have them on my vs 1400 and i do on big bumps. I keep them on the stiffest setting and it isnt so bad. Im going with hardtail struts to keep it as low as these shocks without botoming

Very happy with mine. Have had it for about 6 months. Had a professional do some adjustments after assembly, cost me about 60.00. Its been a great bike so far. Even the professional bike shop said it was a quality bike.
