    just wondering what you all think of ikons. im getting a set for my 06 superglide at 12", one inch lower than stock. im also thinking of getting their fork springs to completely upgrade the ride. once again any advice would be great.

     

    thanks

    Got a set on my 2008 Dyna, nothing fantastic, but way better than HD shit. Price is reasonable and they handle the twisties pretty well.

    yes better then stock and most progressive shocks ,lowering dynas effects handling and ground clearance good idea improving front end ,

    Put a set of fournales shocks on my 1995 wide glide best investment i made, it even took out the wobbles when hitting bumps on corners. Bit pricie but rebuildable and worth it.

    You should be able to slide your forks up through the triple trees in order to level out your ride. Thats if you wanna save a few dollars.

    hey gringo had a set of ikons on my fxrs when I had it, loved them so much I put a set on my road king-I reckon there great. I did the front forks on both bikes with race tech constant rate front springs and gold valve emulaters--made a huge difference---Cheers Grim.

    Gringo I bought the race tech gear through shock treatment in oz--really nice to deal with and you can buy direct of them--cheers Grim

    Hey i put a set on my 2008 fxdl after having a set on my bonny. Highly recomend them fro the price and nice people to deal with to.

    Had the front fork springs on my bonny also which were also good, havent put them on my front end of the low rider but will when i get some dosh, with the money you save you can buy something else nice for your bike.

    Cannot comment on them on a harley but i replaced my street bob shocks after 500 klm because the harley shocks were scuse the pun SHOCKING , i put progresive on and they shit themselves in side 10.000 klm

    But on my Rocket it was too big for me so has a last dished effort , i swapped the rear shocks for IKON 35mm lower and dropped the bike 25mm through the triple tree and PRESTO .. The rocket is now lowered handles better and above all the Ikons are very very good better than the triumph which are actually quite good standard. So i ended up with a 2300 cc tourer which has a seat height of 27 inches same has my street bob , ,,,,,,has you may tell i'm very happy with IKONS

    Easy to adjust em, cant complain.
