+ | ===== HD Air Shocks from BT Models ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some folks have tried using the air shocks that are stock on some Big Twin models as alternatives for their Sportster models. The satisfaction with this option varied quite a bit. As all changes in suspension are dependent on accounting for the specific model bike, the rider/passenger weights & cargo weight, the idea is that air shocks can be adjusted for those factors. | ||

+ | |||
+ | My determinations about H-D air shocks are listed below. I welcome edits and corrections.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Per searches of XLF, various H-D fiche websites, H-D P&A Catalog & website, and eBay:\\ | ||
+ | - 2014-2016 Touring air shocks\\ | ||
+ | --- 54662-09 12.00" c-c (c-c = length between centers of the mounting eyes when shock is fully extended)\\ | ||
+ | --- 54000036 12.75" c-c\\ | ||
+ | - 2009-2013 Touring air shocks\\ | ||
+ | --- 54662-09 12.00" c-c\\ | ||
+ | --- 54565-09 12.75" c-c\\ | ||
+ | ------ NOTE: This part number no longer comes up on some sites & some sites list 54000036 as the replacement part for the 2009-2013 "tall-shock" Touring models\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | - For H-D touring-model air shock part numbers that use the xxxxx-xx format:\\ | ||
+ | --- If the third digit of the part number is a "6", it's a short (12.00") shock\\ | ||
+ | --- If the third digit of the part number is a "5", it's a tall (12.75") shock\\ | ||
