Default 12" shocks w/ long travel for a '24 question

Which brand of 12" shocks with 3" travel are better than the rears on the new CVO's? These stockers are nice but there must be better out there. Had 1" lowering blocks on my TC w/ 13's and it was comfy. If they don't brake the bank I want to make this sit closer to my last ride and upgrade suspension.

At $990.00 a pair, I'll pass.

Hard to find inexpensive quality performance shocks. The manufacturer know they can charge $1000 a pair . It’s really a ripoff when you compare what you can get for a car.

True! but still interested in hearing what folks have that is better than my oem ones. I have a set of 12" Revo A's sitting around but will lose travel.

We have put together a great report on Performance Rear Shocks.

The report includes a lot of data testing you might find interesting when comparing different rear shocks for your ride.

Our most popular options are the Twin Adjustable Bitubo and the Nexgen's.

Feel free to give us a call with any questions you may have.

Ride Safe, Ride Free.

I use to have 13” base Ohlins on my 07 FLHTC and they rode line on a cloud. Now I have a tri glide with 14” Pro Action and a lift kit . It’s way better than stock. If I could find a set of base Ohlins for around $700 I would be all over that

I've had Pro-Action for 70,000+ miles now and they are wonderful. Awesome people to work with too.

Try pricing a set of adjustable shocks for a car, I think you'll change your mind on that!
