Full Length Shocks on a 12" Shock CVO...
Not entirely happy with the 12" 944's on the Dogfish. Around town and casual stuff very nice, loaded for bear touring mode, not so much.
I should have put on 13" units right off the bat..... But it came with 12"s and I was assured these where designed for it  Not enough travel when all loaded down and hitting crap pavement at "slightly" higher than posted speed. Just may investigate the JRI angle.....Rant over, Dirk

Just struck me, when we get back I'm going to pull the 13" 440's from the Blu Mule and chuck them on the Dogfish for sh*ts and giggles and give that a whirl for comparison.... Dirk

shooter who doesn't visit here often got a set of the 12" jri, for his RGC, but with the external valve and the sweep valve, and except for howards misinformation at first he seems to be happy with them.

I took the Ricors off the 05 and tried them on the 2011 CVO. There were clearance issues and I took them off the same day.

Dirk, I'll bet you won't like the 13's any better. I know I don't. Gonna talk to Howard in the near future myself.

You have to raise the front up an inch too, or the ride will be all messed up
