Progressive 444 were

Hey up just found some in th UK and just opting for the 12" which now has me thinking it may make it turn in slower as for ground clearance im not sure i ride mainly solo but that front tyre you mention could be just the thing to getting setup properly thanks for the imput my friend

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
Do NOT go 12"!!!
Stay with OEM 12.5" and go with 13" if you have the inseam, 31" or more.
Agree with Warpo that a 140 75R/17 (does not have to be Avon Cobra, there are other options) on front and a 240/55R/16 Exedra Max rear is the best set-up!

I'm pretty happy with the front forks. There are 4" more suspension travel there than there was in the Road Glide. I'm not sure what would work. I had thought of trying Harleys Air shocks. My old neighbor had a set built for a husband a nd wife who were built like I am. But I'll probably just stick with stock for now. @1olbull I think runs 444s and likes them.

The 444 are very good shockies, I would like to try some Wilbers as they may be even better.
I have run Hagon and they are fine, but I'd put them ½ step behind the 444s.
Re: your R3T:
I would give the 444s the nod because of the auto damping and easy hand twist pre-load features.
These would be invaluable and provide easy quick adjustment for riding two up!
