I like the look better than the stock chrome. Installation was a snap. Bike on stand, 4 bolts off, 4 bolts on. Took longer to re-set my saddlebags than the install.

(5 stars) reviewed on 07/21/08 by Rick Becker (Rickbgp38) from Orlando, FL, United States, for a 96 - black 1100 Shadow VT1100C wrote: Great shocks, though they are stiffer than stock, they give a real solid feel when riding. And they lower the bike about 1 1/2 for nice custom look. Installation was a no brainer - simply lift the bike on a jack, replace each one at a time, then go riding.

Had to remove the lower chrome bell and trim the mounting bracket on the V&H pipes to get these to fit. I don't think there is a problem with other aftermarket pipes.
