Rear shocks
I have air adjustable shocks on my 16 road glide as we speak and am thinking about putting the hand adjustable on it. Is the hand adjustable shocks thatch better? I have heard pros and cons about the ride quality. I like the softest ride possible but if they are harsher I think I will stay away.

I also highly recommend upgrading your bikes front end. You will love the results.

Were they also as good as what your saying with two riders?
Thanks for your help.
The 2014 SGS came with the low premiums, swapped them to my 14 TK, and put a set of low air shocks on the 14 XS.
My 2014 FLHTK came with the standard height air shocks, swapped them out for the low premiums, then swapped again for the standard premiums.
It took me a while to get there, but I am totally happy with the 13" Premium shocks.
2 riders would be two bikes.... But mine work fine for me and a passenger.

I have been thinking the same thing and curious if it is worth the time and money or just do progressive shocks

Then there are those that say they are junk, and go to Ohlins.
IMHO, if you don't want to go with HD products, call Howard and get a set of Ohlins.
No worries... I hope I answered what you were asking. Sometimes you have to wade through some of my sarcasm...
