Premium Ride Shocks
I was glancing through the latest edition of the HOG magazine and there is an article about the "premium ride hand adjustable" shocks in there. It says that they come standard on the Street Glide Special, Road Glide Special, Ultra Low, and Limited Low. Why would they limit putting them on those models only instead of just across the board on all the touring bikes? And yes...I'm venting because I bought a new "regular" Limited which wasn't included in the group

You think that's bad my brother bought a $40k CVO and it came with the air shocks in 2014. That's right they didn't even put the premium shocks on the CVO's in 2014! Not sure if that has changed since then.

Your in the UK so all bets are off there..lol.. I know there are several differences with UK bikes due to traffic laws there. My brother bought a 2014 CVO Limited last year with a $42k sticker price and it came with air shocks...lol
The LOW models came with hand adjustable shocks...
SGS and RGS are low models.
And they haven't came out with a 42k sticker on the CVOs yet...
Not saying dealers aren't asking that, but the sticker price is $38,349 for the 2015 CVO Limited.
With air shocks.

hard to beat the premium ride hand adjustables. they work well for me and mine. Stiff for the first 2k miles then smooth out a bit.

That and a 6.5gt, factory security & ABS I believe???
I bought a set of the premium shocks off Ebay and ordered the security and ABS on my bike. All I lack now turning it into a "special" is the 6.5gt.
