     Hi, I just bough my first Harley.  883 low.  I've found it's too low for me,  Have a problem scraping on corners.  I'd like to lift it so it's the same height as Iron.  any suggestions.  Thanks for help.

    Eddy, I have a set of OEM Iron shocks..................................you can have em for $50 bucks if you want them? I took them off my bike within about the first 3 weeks of owning it and dropped it down to 11'.

    Or the other cheaper option is to buy a set of air shocks off a touring model like I have. The stock length versions are 13-inch but the 'low' versions are 12-inch eye to eye. Ebay USA has a ton of them for under $100 a pair if you shop hard.

     Thanks for advice, appreciate your help.   I’ve ordered a set of 13inch progressive shocks.  I guess I will have to lift front forks too.  Any advice will be welcome.  Thanks for your help.

    i'm not 100% sure, but i thought the lows had shorter fork tubes than stock . Spend another 100, and put progressive springs in the front too. That'll stop any bottoming out in the front end.
