[QUOTE="maxystaxi, post: 150985, member: 4014"] PO had installed MDI (universal?) shocks that are approximately 11.5 inches open. They are fairly new; It does add to the look of the GL1000 and it helps in height since I'm a shorter dude. But I've run into a few issues... I am a heavier dude and I don't know if the shocks are a good fit for me. Riding isn't too bad but if I hit the railroad tracks or a pot hole... I'm bottoming out. (pucker effect on high) The shocks have the ability to tighten up the spring. It was on the second to last notch and I just moved it to the very last (tightest) notch today. Has anyone found a successful "shorter" shock that will work for the GL1000 that is a tad stronger. I would really like a 12" good quality shock. The 13" (OEM size) would be too high for my toes (in boots) to place the heels flat at stops. [/QUOTE]
