This was taken after the 1.25 inch lift was installed.

The shocks did not arrive Saturday. The tracking number said Monday all along but I had some hope they might come Saturday so I could get them installed today. Ill get them Monday. Like a kid waiting on Christmas.

When we were looking at 2013 Anniversary Edition's at different dealers, one dealer had very similar wheels on one. Yes they look very nice, however after riding two different trikes, one with the low profile, and one without, we told they dealer the only way we would take the Anniversary Edition is if he put it back to stock. He refused, and so we purchased our Anniversary Edition from a dealer who left it stock. Wish you the best with the shocks, but I doubt it will make a huge improvement. I currently run Progressive shocks, front and rear, 25 psi in the rear, Good Year Comfort Tred rear tires at 25 psi and have a pretty plush ride.

After our ride today I jacked the trike up and removed the wheels and took the shocks off so when the new ones arrive it will be ready. By the way the tires are Nitto Neo Gen 205/40ZR-18XL 86W. They ride really nice already compared to my 2011 tri glide with stock tires.

It's all about what makes you happy! That's why there are so many flavors of ice cream.

Default Legend adjustable damper/ compression shocks?

I already installed the 1.25 inch comfort lift. it seemed to be a little better ride with the stock air ride but the big difference was in how much easier the trike was to maneuver in the curves. Any one else find the tri glide to ride rough and hard to maneuver?
what's best

I can't answer that because I haven't tried either one. I ordered the Pro-Action shocks because I liked what I read about them. They will be on the trike soon. I am looking forward to them. stay tuned for more soon.

Ok the shocks came in Monday and I installed them late yesterday when I got home from work. Did not get a chance to test ride yet. I will say that they are very good looking shocks and the instillation process was very simple. I hope weather permitting to test ride today after work. I will let you know soon. Stay tuned LOL.
