Just an FYI (if you don't already know), those shocks are not the originals, they are a bit shorter than stock. This lowers the rear end, reduces ground/cornering clearance and slows the steering.

It just sits really low. Some guys do that intentionall, for the low rider look. Just mentioned it in the event that you were unaware of it. Measure the shocks, the stock length is about 13.5", center to center of the mounting bolts. The ones on your bike look like Harley shocks.
