ny suggestions for a better upgrade. I ride alone but mostjy two up.

 

I've read a number of positive feedbacks on Ohlins shocks and am considering an upgrade too. One of the forum's sponsor specializes in custom work. Check it out.

Just ordered Olhins from Howard at motorcycle metal, he knows his stuff & I can't wait to try them! Did lots of research and this is supposed to be a great mod. Good luck.

 

For 1/2 the price of Olhines the progressive 440s are a good improvement. Just not as good? Good bang or the buck imho.

 

I've done a lot of research and read many threads, and though I think they are a little expensive, when I change shocks I plan to go with Ohlins.

 

Ohlins are top of the line. Works makes some good shocks as does Progressive. I've also heard some good comments about the HD "premium ride" shocks. It all depends on how deep your pockets are and personal preference.

I just received my 3-3 Ohlins from Howard. Great guy to work with and you get a discount for being on the HD Forum.

 

+1 Q, have had my 3-3's for about a week, Howard is a good guy, walks you thru the whole install process, great customer service. I am really happy with the shocks, its a totally different feel, in a good way, I decided to do it this year before I ride to Sturgis. Getting the HD premium front end installed next week, that is the one thing about getting good shocks, the shortcomings of the frontend tend to stick out more.

 

anyone know if ELKA SUSPENSIONS makes shocks for the rear?

 

I swapped the stock air shocks for a set of Progressive 440's. Just got back from a 2000 mile round trip to Maggie Valley two up and loaded with luggage. Zero problems and a MUCH better ride than when we went 3 years ago
