Hello, I just sold my 2008 street glide and picked up a 2014 ultra classic.
I havent had a chance to work on it but I noticed it has rear air shocks. Not sure if this is stock.
I thought it would have the shock where you adjust it w the ****.
thoughts?
sorry if this is a dumb question
I upgraded my 2014 Street Glide to Progressive 944s. Best move I ever made, well, maybe not the best. The other would have been when I put a Woods TW-222 cam in it. That was a better move.
I didnt mind the air ride on my 2008. Glad I kept the air pump.
we shall see how well it performs.
which do you feel is better. The oem air or oem **** style?
But save the money you'd spend on the OEM hand adjustable, and just buy a good set of real shocks instead, when you're ready to do something different. Buy once, cry once lol
Mine came with the 13" air too, switched to the 13" hand adjustable (used for $225 shipped)... they were better than the air, not by much... went with 14" SuperShox with their 1" lowering blocks....
Day and night difference.
Naturally, if the air shocks work for you, that's great. For me (on my '14 Ultra Limited) they sucked. The only thing worse than waiting 2 years to upgrade to Ohlins, is the constant reminder from my wife what a dumbass I was for waiting.
Thats good info guys, thank you!
when its time to upgrade I will definitely reach out for opinions.
now on to finding an affordable adjustable clutch lever.

I still ride with the stock shocks. The only time I changed them out I regretted it. The ride wasn't $800 better. The newer style shocks seem to me, relatively the same just easier to adjust. Keep some crap in them saddle bags and it will ride better.
