You can find lots of reviews on 422s on softails, but I'll review here on amazon.com.

This is not sold by amazon.com but the seller was great and got it drop shipped for me. So cudos to him for that and the good communication.

Now to the shocks. My softail deuce was running stock shocks with the lowering bolts mounted. I'd say it was lowered a good 2.5" from stock. I'm 30 and in good health and my lower back was KILLING me from the hard bumps and bottoming out.

I used these shocks and at first lowered it about 1.75" from stock and had the preload set to factory (near softest setting). Went on a cruise and it was MUCH better than stock. Better but not perfect. since I didn't have much travel till it hit the bumpstops. So i raised it higher to about 1.5"-1.6 lower than stock and soften the preload a bit more. Now i'm happy with the ride, the height, and the look. I'm about 160 so I wanted lighter preload than most. They recommend you get 3/4" sag when sitting on the bike vs. not. I'm not getting that 3/4" but closer to 1/2". However the bike sags about 1/4"+ from the bikes weight on itself. I had my bro that's 190 sit on it and it sagged a LOT more.

Installation wasn't too bad but getting the nuts off on the rear of shocks will be a pain without the right tools. 3/4 open wrench and hammer did the trick.
