They are a very good alternative to the stock Sportster shocks, and better than many aftermarket shocks for those looking for a more plush ride on a Sportster.

Good to know, I put a set of supposedly brand new take off 13" air shocks on my 2006 1200C and and set of Progressive springs with the sag set and some 15 wt fork oil. Big difference over the old stock suspension with 25,000 miles on it. About $225 total investment for parts and I did the work myself. Would be interesting to see how much better the higher dollar solutions are.

'09 Nightster with 13"shocks. Changes the look, not bad to me, but performance is way better.
