i have new shocks for the H1D but the shrouds are longer ,not that its a 100 point resto, but theyare going to swap the springs out for me (temp out of the rate i wanted).
so i could send the oem shrouds with reflectors mounted with the hagon shocks so when they disasemble to change out the springs they could instal the oem shrouds.
or i could glue the reflectors to the new shrouds and no worries.
just wondered what you all thought.

Get rid of the shrouds all together..... :thumbup: Makes the shocks look like they came on a Honda step-through.....

Within the same model year looks like some have reflectors and some do not. Is this right?

Put on the Hagons and forget the reflector. Gluing will not turn out well.

Might be worth seeing if they can retrofit stock shrouds onto the shocks then you can keep the reflectors and the correct standard look.
It's a long shot but it might just work. Standard shocks look way better in my opinion but those Hagon shrouds are fugly!
