I believe if they are leaking oil then they are the premium shocks? You are talking about the shocks on a SGS?

The air shocks are oil filled as well.

Default Leaky shock

I had 250 miles on my bike when the rear right shock blew its seal and leaked all the oil out onto my garage floor. It was replaced under warranty. Stock shocks still rode like a truck no matter how much air I put in or took out. Upgraded to a pair progressive 944's. Bike rides like a caddy now
Good Luck with the stock shocks.

The right rear shock on my '15 Road King started leaking at 200 miles in November. Harley replaced it of course but then I went with Progressive 944s a few weeks ago. Pretty obvious Harley has an issue here. Never had a shock go out before
