Default Whats the best replacement shock for lowering

2years ago I built my own draggin baggers set up accept I used a Gabriel shock instead of monroe. I like the ability to lower the bike because it handles and looks better.

The only issue I have is it rides like crap over bumps.

I want a nice ride like the stock shocks but I want the bike lower.

What companies make a quality air shock actually made for a motorcycle not a car?

Thanks Brett

I just put on a set of Progressive 416's (416-1607A) on a 2008 Ultra - doesn't lower it much but lets me be more flat footed when I stop.

Check out Bitchen Baggers. They take stock HD shocks and cut them down for $175.00. Still full air adjustment so the ride is just like stock. I had them cut down a pair of 13" to 11" and love em'
