Default Ohlin touring shocks

Well it seems like I have a little cash left over after my motor and audio upgrades so I was wanting to upgrade to a set of Ohlins on my 13 FLHX. I am a bit confused on exactly which ones to get. I spoke to Howard and he seems to be out of stock on the 2.2 till May so I was thinking about the 3.3. I was hoping to get some feedback from riders who actually have Ohlins. I ride about 70% alone and was wondering what it takes to set them up for 1 up vs 2 up etc. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

I ran the Ohlins 3-3 , I now have the 6's . I set them up and dialed them in for me solo , when my wife rides I add 3 turns of preload per shock , it takes all of 3 minutes to do and is perfect

Ohlins #6 here. Never looked back. The stock Harley air **** shocks suck. Howard will dial you in on the best choice for your riding style.
