Will they fit a 2001 Sportster Custom 1200? And how will the ride be for someone weighing 210?

There are multiple bushing adapters, so I'm pretty sure they will fit. And I weigh 245 and I've got them set right in the middle of adjustment, and it's nice and smooth, never bottomed out. Awesome purchase!

They will fit. I'm your weight and I have almost no seat padding due to the minimal look I enjoy. I have no issues just make sure you stand up if you're going to hit a pothole.

Yes. I have them on my 02 sporty custom and I weigh 260. I love the ride but realize they are short. Short means less travel. Less travel means stiffer ride. It's not like riding on struts by any means but you're going to notice a difference. Personally, I love them. I love the lower profile, the look, the ride is better too. Go with them, you won't be sorry.

I'm not sure of the ride as I am in the middle of the build but I did put them on a 1985 Iron head 1000 frame, I just had to cut the bushing down that came with the shocks

Hey Will, just wondering if you bought this bike and successfully put 32's on the bike? I just saw my friends tires and 23's are way too skinny! Not to mention I'd bet you'd feel EVERY piece of dirt. I'd like to know before I commit.

I have used these on both a 2006 883L and a 2013 Sportster 72 and worked great on both. Way better than spending $90 or $100. I'm sure they would fit.

I would think they would fit, as far as I know the frames should be the same. The easiest way to cross check would be to see if the original shocks are the same. If they are the same then it should fit. I am a 25lb plus man and ordered the heavier version, they are a bit stiff, but the improvement was awesome. I have not had my wife on the back since putting them on, but I would expect them to be great with the two of us ( she's a light weigh,t 120lb) Bruce

I can't say for sure.Got these for a 26" ladies, retro, single speed, Huffy. They worked fine on that. Lighter rider though; @ 120 lbs.Hope that helps.

Looks like stock is 11". Don't know why they say it will not fit. Have had Progressive shocks over the years and was never impressed with them. The new sportsters do not have enough travel for a good ride. Set one up a couple of years ago with 13" shocks and the longer fork travel. Was a nice set up.

I'm 220 and no problem, running recommended pressure on the side wall.They should have a higher capacity than skinnier tires as far as weight cap.

Yes holly it should fit as the bolt demensions are the same as the 1200. I modified mine to slip on. I would recommend you use different bolts than what it comes with as they will rust if you get wet.

yes. I fitted them to my sportster roadster xl1200r no problem though the switch is designed to fit on a dash panel. great value though if you are prepared to tie the switch on say under the tank somewhere. If purchasing from the states expect a charge for customs duty, around 10 gbp. Overall work well on my harley and relatively easy to fit. heat output is great - don't think it will ever be cold enough here in the midlands to use the max setting though.

I put mine on to a 1984 Honda Magna. Very little room for the saddle bags, but they worked out nicely. They should fit your sportster.

We ride an 2013 Ultra classic and I absolutely love them. Had no problem whatsoever. Rode all the way to Montana and back home. 3500 mi. trip and they were a life saver for me.

No, these are for FXR's. The ones for your Sportster are available here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GZTJWY

I'm 210. I don't know the max. It is a very heavy bike. +/- 6- lbs I believe. Good bike. Lots of fun.

I think you would have a hard time getting them on. The mount doesnt seem to expand much. I had to take the grips off to slide them on the kids bike bars which I think are around 21.

I'm betting they would be just fine. On my VTX1300, they're a little smaller than many bags, but for the value they can't be beat. And the top "sling" is adjustable for fitting most any bike.

I have them on a Honda 200 four wheeler and there is plenty of room the four wheeler is down at the lake and it will be a week before I can actually measure it. I hope this helps.

I installed on a 2007 sportster XL883 standard. They fit but it required removal of the back sissy bar bolt so I can not put sissy bar on. I have not used it anyway. If I were to add saddlebags again I would invest a bit more for a bracket that bags could clip on to. I do not care for the over the fender bags that tie on to this Raider bracket. The bags are kind of loose no matter how you try to tie them to the bracket. Check out these Easy brackets @ http://www.easybrackets.com/
