Who out there is using these shocks and what is your opinion of them. Are they a noticible improvement over the stock air shocks? I have a 2013 RK, am 6'2" 230lbs, and am looking for a little more comfortable ride. I have tried adjustinhg the pressure in the air shocks but the ride is still a little jarring. I can buy a set of the premium rides online for around $450. Is there better options out there in the same price range. Thanks for any input you may have.
replaced air shocks on my 15 limited with 12" hd premium...very nice improvement. me: 6ft 265 lbs. Also work great 2 up...no complaints here.

Unless your load never changes these are fine. After a while you figure out how many turns of preload but what a pain.

I ride solo, when i got the bike i assumed it was set up for me, bike had bags off tranfer of some items from previous bike etc.
I rode it almost a year before taking off my bags to clean the inside of them etc. and clean and check the shocks. they were set for a 250 lb rider. I set them for my wt 150 lbs.
What a difference, the stock hand adjustable are good just make sure they are set correctly, for one or two up.
My ride feels so good after riding it for about 10 months with the wrong setting.
I find no need to upgrade to any after market shock.
