Just for the experiment I put some bagger air shocks on my Superglide. Pretty damn smooth ride. The look won't be for everyone, but if you don't care so much about the look this was a cheap substitute for some of the aftermarket options.

FYI, these are stock 13" touring shocks (I wanted the suspension travel). a set of 12" off a Streetglide would look better, but I got these cheap.

 

I have the 12" 2012 SG air shocks and I love them. I've read putting in some heavier weight shock oil makes a world of difference and you use less air. This winter I'm planning on swapping the oil out for some Amsoil shock therapy medium which I think is 10wt. I have it in my front end and it was a great result. I got some Schrader valves from napa to replace the plastic lines and carry a HD pump to adjust when I get into the mountains or load up. And painted them black.



You can almost see the Schrader valves in this pic

 

I have some of the 13s as well but haven't got around to putting them on yet.

Were they a direct swap?

 

I had some on my Fat bob before and they were great! I have a plan to put them on my Switchback this summer

 

have had the late model 12" SG shocks on mine for quite some time now
swapped oil out to 10wt.. i think a 12-12.5 wt would be perfect

 

Those shocks are good only if you change the oil, a world of difference!

 

I have a set from my 2005 Road Glide in excellent condition. Still have the air hoses and fill port attached. I also have a very used HD air shock pump that I can through into the deal.

Anybody wants them, send me a PM.

 

Do they just bolt up? Any mods necessary?

 

I'm not familiar with the air shocks, are these going to be better than other aftermarket shocks for the Dyna? Any special equipment or mods?

 

I had some stock Road King air shocks lowered by Bitchin Bagers and put them on my FatBob. They do ride nice until I hit a some what medium pot home then it feels like they bottom out. I started with 20 psi and worked my way up to 33 psi. I have the later model shocks that are good to 60 psi. Still not sure if I'm going to keep them.
