Bitubo vs. HD Premium/CVO Shocks?
2011 Street Glide w/HD Premium rear shocks (stock on CVO's) & Traxxion Dynamics AK-20 up front.
Any benefit in swapping the HD Premium rear shocks for Bitubos? Are the Bitubos harsh, or comfortable?
I would be getting the shorter Street Glide length, same as the HD premiums that I have now.
Thanks

I will say that it's better then the Progressive kit I previously had, and I liked the Progressive kit a lot. The AK-20 is more comfortable, better handling, and no 'clunking' sound when braking.
It's not 4x the price better, but having experienced both, I would definitely pony up the extra cash for the AK-20 for any future bikes. It's worth it to me, so far.

ride comfort and handling
I have the Traxxion front suspension and Bitubo rears on my Road King 2008 . I'm not an expert, but there is a big difference in hanling and comfort and I would definately do it again and will on any bikes I get. The Bitubo's are adjustable so you can have any ride you want, although I had the installer adjust to a medium ride for one up and I haven't needed to adjust.
