On the HD website it says 2015 RG Ultra does have air shocks. From pic it looks similiar to past air shocks.

Adjustable Air Ride Rear Suspension
The new CVO™ Road GlideŽ Ultra model gives you our premium adjustable air ride rear suspension.

I stand corrected.

Maybe they did come out with a "Premium" air shock on the CVO Road Glide. The CVO models used to come with the Premium Hand Adjustable shocks.

There is no mention of what the CVO Limited or the CVO Street Glide have for shocks.

Based on OP comments be interesting if the air shock part number has changed from previous years.

why would they put the old shocks on the upgraded model? That seems backwards.

Now this is getting interesting, I guess I will ask about the part number to the 15 cvo roadglide, the part no. from a 14 ultra and then the part number from my bike (10 ultra) and report back.

The 14 and 15 CVO Limited air shocks are the same as those installed on the 14 and 15 Ultra Classic and Limited. Same for the front suspension. The exception of course is the 15 LOW models. They have premium adjustable ( not air ) rear suspension and premium front suspension. The 15 CVO street glide has the premium suspension setup.

I have read that Harley made changes to the Rushmore air shocks. I would assume they kept the same part number as they can be used on pre 14 models.

Thanks for the link, it showed that the number was changed from 54565-09 to 54000036, now for the millon dollar question, was the valving changed for the rushmore models? if so they are on ebay pretty cheap, could be a "cost effective" upgrade.

They are new! With patience you may be able to find a s/h take-off pair before too long. Personally I wouldn't bother buying new ones, there are some excellent alternatives out there.
