I recently bought an 05 FXDX, and just finished the Stage 1, bike runs great, then I noticed the left rear shock is leaking. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
I had a leaky rear shock -- see this thread. Ended up being covered under warranty though.
Ohlins makes a shock that was originally marketed for the FXDX(the set up instructions are titled Harley Davidson FXDX)which I put on my StreetBob and have written about on this forum- fantastic shocks. Fully adjustable. Ohlins 36PRCLB 340mm or 13.4" out of the box with another 1/2" length adjustment possible. Any Ohlins dealer will set up the springs for your weight and riding style. I used Howard Messner who was great to work with. The Ohlins have a nitrogen external reservoir and are adjustable for compression, rebound, pre-load and length. Shock stroke is 88 mm or 3.46". Price is around $1450/pair. Expensive but I'm glad I scraped the bottom of my bank account to get them- I can't believe the difference in the ride. Jay
+1, 2 and 3. Stock OEM shocks are very low quality.
