Any good ?
Hi,
Can you tell me if the air shocks where an improvement?
i am thinking about replacing the stock dyna shocks with airshocks from a touring model.. can get a decent set cheap
I know i am bringing an old thread to life, and i hope you are willing to share your experience
kind regard's,
Eric

All depends on your price range and personal opinion of them, no two ***'s are alike

I ran a set of air shocks from an 09 Road King on my Dyna. At first I ran 30 PSI and found they were way too bouncy. But once I lowered the PSI to 5 or sometimes 10 and they rode much nicer. I would think even at 0 PSI they would be better than stock Dyna shocks.
The only issue I ran into was they hit the belt guard on the left side. Easy fix though, just put a couple washers behind the shock to shim it out, or do what I did and remove the belt guard.
