Default Help Need - Dyna Super Glide Custom shocks update

Hi there

After expending a day reading and reading and reading I found that the best options are :

Progressive Suspension 430 - http://www.jpcycles.com/product/702-557

Rico - http://store.ricorshocks.com/product_p/20-10-2004.htm

Ohlins (but I have no idea where to get them from)


All points that Ohlins rules, but I have to 2 questions :

1 - is that budget enoght?

2 - What should I get from the front? I have no idea here


Thank you very much for the help in advance

PD
My budget is around $500/$600 but I would prefer to expend around $400 if possible

My Bike is a 2012 Dyna Super Glide Custom

I'm a big guy, 250 pounds (working on reduce that, health ladys, health) and I like to ride with my old lady and use seaddlebags too.

A lot of us get Ohlins from Howard at Motorcycle Metal. Give him a call and see what he can do for you. He's a sponsor here.
