Or the JRI HD shocks in probably 13" length

I would love to get a set of the Ohlins Backline shocks, but I can't seem to find a 12.5 - 13" inch set specifically for a Dyna. I still need to contact Motorcycle Metal to see what they can assemble for me, but I have a feeling a custom tailored set of Backlines will push me outside of my budget.



I know a bunch of people run Works shocks , but in order to have the rebound adjustment, the cost just get's beyond my budget.

I hear good things about Hagon Nitros, and haven't ruled those out.


Also, would you say that the rebound adjustment is worth the added cost?
