I'm looking to replace the air shocks on my 2014 Ultra. Same color as yours actually. Mind telling me which Ohlin shocks you got?

 

I just swapped out front and rear suspension with Legends. Like floating on a cloud.

 

Please report back to this thread with your impressions of the new shocks. Thanks.

 

Regarding >> I knew the ride would be stiffer for various reasons and I'm ok with it but the wife is having a hard time with it.


As far as I know, RGS and SGS are the same bikes besides the fairing. Why would SG be stiffer?

 

I will confirm this evening for the exact model #, but I believe Ohlin has changed the model to this:

I'm almost positive this is the new model # for the ones I have.

 

this is what I'm thinking.....your giving too much resistance to too little weight....relax the shocks a bit and use more of travel to more gently absorb the bumps

 

No matter what setting I put my stock cvo shocks on I couldn’t get the a$$ end to move at all and I’m 245 lbs. with my RWD’s as soon as I sit on the bike it’s nice and squishy or I can dial it up stiff if I want. The **** on the stock shock seems useless to me.

 

I put a pair of Bitubo on my '07 RK and there is a night and day difference over the factory "air shocks"...

 

I'd watch ebay & craigslist.
Std E-Glide shocks for sale all the time.

 

A few years ago I learned the SG had the 12" shocks to lower the stance and add to the coolness. Many on this forum learned this is where the harshness originated and went to 13" shocks, You have to figure out what shock you want to run.
