I have a stock shock leaking internally and need to replace.&nbsp\\; I am looking at aftermarket replacements.&nbsp\\; Wondering what your running and your experiences.&nbsp\\; I run solo at about 240#'s.&nbsp\\; thanks

 

Works Street Trakkers DRS/ARS on an '05 Ultra.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Easy Install.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Pricey but worth every cent - one of my best upgrades.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Makes the OEM air shocks an absolute&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;JOKE.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\ ;\\\\\\;
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Consistent smooth ride&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;and I have never&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;adjusted since finding the sweet spot 15,000 miles ago.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
I got the 11.5" - helped lower the rear a bit and keeps the feet planted.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Good luck - lots of choices.

Progressive make a GREAT shock if ya want to get away from AIR they ride GREAT and there is some adjustments for load adjustments.

There are a bunch of different Air-Ride Systems. Arrnott Air-Ride is one Ive been looking real close at.

 

SoCal&nbsp\\; - Which progressives would you recommend for a&nbsp\\;solo rider on a Road King

 

Progressive I installed 412s on mine shortly after I bought it and have never looked back...The ride improved twice over from the stock junk ones.....I weigh 250 and the wife weighs 140, much better than the factory so called air ride!!!! hope this might help ya....

 

I have Progressive 412's (1 1/2" under stock FLHRS &amp\\; FLHX) I'm saving my pennies for the Arnott Air Ride.

 

440's on mine, lowered 1"

 

Penske....hands down outperform ANY shock on the market....once you ride on a Penske, all the rest are crap

 

Lowered my '03 Ultra using 12" air shocks made by Ultima.&nbsp\\; You can find them on Ebay for about $125 ... great deal and no problems.

 

I'm running Progressive 440's with standard springs. I weight 170# and ride solo, so if you're at 240# you may need to go with the HD springs. I almost bought some Works shocks but decided against them after reading an obscure note in their FAQ that the shocks may or will need service every 30-40k at $80 per incident, IIRC. That's 2-3 years for me requiring the shocks to be shipped to CA, and didn't like the idea. Progressive claims their shocks can last &gt\\;100k miles without service, depending on conditions, and have a lifetime warranty.

These 440's are better than the 12" shocks that were standard on the SGsmoother and better controlled with less bottoming. I have the 12½" version.
