Are you running the stock Harley shocks on your bike?

I replaced the stock rear shocks on my Ultra with Progressive 944s and it made a HUGE difference in both ride and stability.

Afternoon Woods, well the front is done. Tire, bearings and brake pads.

Maybe do the rear tomorrow. I don't have new rear pads, I think these will be ok for now.

Yes..currently running stock shocks and front fork springs. The plan is to have Maxton replace front and rear suspension.

Do you ride 2 up a lot? What do you keep your shocks set on? The same setting that works well for you solo will not be the best for the added weight of another rider...
