Progressive 430HD's

[Mike]

Hi all,
My parts supplier is having trouble locating 13" 430HD progressive shocks. He can get me a set of 12.5" 430HD in a couple of days.

I ride two up most of the time. 2000 Standard.

My question is will the .5" less make a big difference?

Thanks
Mike

The difference it will make is right around 1/2 inch.  Sorry couldnt help myself.  I dont think after a day of riding you would notice it.  especially if you have the setting up a notch (because of two up)

I put an Ultimate lowrider seat on and it made more than a 1/2" change and I liked it and got used to it quick.

If you have really long legs you may not enjoy any lowering but if not I say go for it

I was just worried if there would be more chance of rubbing the rear with less clearance.

no chance of wheel rubbing, plenty of extra room if you are taking off stockers and going down 1/2 inch
