The dual cartridge setup has almost as bad brake dive as stock, but the ride is pretty good.

In the rear I've run Ricors, 12" stock and 13" stock air shocks and HD Premium Ride 13" adjustables. The best ride (solo) was definitely the Ricor shocks. It was weird, even, knowing that your wheel was absorbing all the imperfections and transmitting nothing to the chassis. Pretty cool. Loaded down though, they weren't great. Not a fault of the shock or spring, it's just that you can't have your cake and eat it too. Spring it for two-up or solo, but you can't have both...

The HD Premium ride shocks are almost as good as the Ricors solo. Haven't tried two-up yet.

I started doing this for everyone's convenience, shipping direct from me saves you some time and money in S&H, and saves me some time in the long run by being able to prepare several sets at one time. I'm still not charging anyone for the mod and set up service.
