there out there.
e-bay might be your best bet to find them.
but i would look into progressive shocks or sportster shocks
or something with a shorter eye to eye lenth.
someday i will be able to afford my kz habit.

Does the sportster have the same eye size as the kz 1000?

My 1976 has lowering blocks that were on the bike when I bought it. When compared to the ride on my 1980, the 76 is definitely a rough ride. I'm assuming that its because you change the angle of the shock and it loses some of its ability to travel properly.
