Premium Adjustable Shock Part Numbering ?
Ive searched around the forum and couldnt find the answer to a question I have, so Im posting here hoping someone might be able to help.
Im looking to change the stock shocks on my 14 Ultra Limited to the HD Premium Adjustable shocks, mainly to get lower in a cost-effective manner. Im 57 and I already replaced the seat with a low Mustang seat, but that didnt help much for getting my feet planted on the ground. So, Im going from a standard 13 shock to a 12 shock. Ive read all the pros and cons and Ive also looked at other lowering options, but this seems to be the easiest, safest and best solution for me.
As I look at the Harley Part numbers for the HD Premium Adjustable Shocks, what I see is that the current part numbering is as follows: Part Number 54000091 is basically a bundle that consists of two parts, 54000081 and 54000082. The last two numbers represent the actual part number on the shocks.
What Im not clear on is that there are also similar shocks numbered 54000096 and 54000114 on some of the shocks Ive seen and Im not clear what the difference is between these shocks and the 81 & 82 parts above.
Does anyone know the answer to that question? Are they just newer/older part numbers for the same shocks? Are the completely different shocks?
Appreciate any help. Thanks

Thanks Rwven, I did look at the 944's, but I wasn't sure if the additional cost was worth it. The Progressive's I think I would need are the 13" Standard shocks, part number 944-4002UT's, I'm 185 and the wife is about 150 so I think the Heavy Duty version might be too harsh. Unfortunately I have not come across a set of the standards on the used market, and $760 for new is not possible at this time.

You can pick up a pair of 12" OEM premium hand adjustable shocks for around $400 from Surdyke.

I don't think the Progressive 13" standard shocks are going to lower the bike, are they?

Wow, great information - Thanks barneyboy! That answers my question exactly.
So now thanks to rwven I need to consider if I want to find a set of Harley 81 & 82s, or wait out a set of Progressive 944s. I'm leaning toward the 944s at this point, if I can find a used set with lower mileage for a decent price. We'll see...
This forum is great and you guys have been very helpful. Thank You!
