Default Rear suspension advice 2010 wide glide

I'm looking for some advice on my rear suspension. My bike rides a little rougher than i'd like and it doesnt handle in the corners as well as id like. I have played with the air pressure a bit but havent gotten the results i want. Are there some rear shocks out there that will help my situation? I like black!

thanks

I am running progressive 440 hd's and they work great for me. But then the front end was my biggest problem not the rear.

Have you tried adjusting the spring tension on your rear shocks? they have about 3 or 4 settings from soft to stiff. you will need the proper size spanner wrench to fit the bottom skirt of your shocks.

There are 5 adjustment settings on rear shocks.I asked dealer when I picked bike up if I would need to adjust he assured me I wouldnt.Rode the bike for a week hating the rear suspension.Then a buddy hooked me up and adjusted rear shocks up 2 notches.Now the bike is great doesnt bottom out rides better in corners.

Motorcycle Metal (Ohlins) and Progressive Suspension are both site sponsors and both make great shocks. You pick a budget and one of them will have the perfect shocks.
