Default The "new" FOX Shocks for Dynas??

I was poking round over the weekend and found some info on the new FOX shocks for Dynas. Anyone have them yet? I have used them for years on snowmobiles and they are fantastic shocks in that application.

Anyone??

I was checking them too, doesn't find much, i have them on a snowmobile too and find them FANTASTIC . I have a 2013 CVO Road King and i dislike the rear shocks, i try Progressive 440 shocks, i don't like them never able to set them to my liking, good on small stuff, bottom on larger bumps, or vice versa....
Go check www.pro-action.com Those guys works on motocross suspension since 1970 something... I buy a set... WOW, those shocks works, exactly the same feeling than those Fox shocks on my snowmobile . They are pre load and damping adjustable, they send them for your weight and have them for the Dyna family

I was looking at those as well. I won't do progressive again. Ohlins is too overpriced for a Harley IMO. Pro Action look a lot like a Fox. I may call them and chat a bit.

I' m sure the Ohlins are very good, the guys at Pro-Action are good too, it's just another option available for us

I would buy a pair of 418's if they still made them; they had adjustable rebound and still looked like a shock for a Harley. Most of the other, pricier, stuff looks like fighter jet parts on a biplane...

I've read some good reviews on Hagon shocks.

I looked at the Pro Shock website and videos and they are priced at $795.00 which is comparable to Ohlins prices.

I run Hagon Nitros and am very happy with them. I concede that Ohlins MAY be better but at twice the price they were too hard to justify as I upgrade the front shocks at the same time. I also find the reservoir look on a Harley a little wrong - love the "like fighter jet parts on a biplane" comment above

For a track bike yeah, Harley no. Plus they are ugly when installed
