You can use your stock or KYB's witht he UAS bags. Make sure you call Zack at UAS and ask for the new kit they have for GS owners. The problem we have with UAS bags is the spindle rubs on the bags which will eventually cause it to rip. I just installed them this weekend and the problem has been solved. I can ride dumped and it will not hit the spindle at all. Here are pics of the parts from UAS

Here it is installed and you can see there is approx 1/4" clearance now.

Hope this helps you!
