My Dyna SG needs shocks...
Coming up on 40,000 miles on my 2010 Super Glide {22,000 in the last 18 months that I have had it}. My bride and ride two up quite a bit at 325#. The current shocks are adjusted to the max setting and yet they are starting feel a little spongey {my Indie's choice of words after I had him take a seat and he is a pretty big guy}. No loose fillings... yet but railroad tracks, potholes and cattle guards are starting to take more of a toll.
I have heard good things about Super Shox but there are so many choices out there and am looking for info/experience with them or other recommendations. I/we ride about 15,000 miles a year mostly out here in the west {AZ, NM, CO, UT, NV, CA etc..}, so we see lots of serious mountain highways and more than my share of interstates.
Being an old fart I ride very conservatively and am just looking for comfort and control, smoother the better, in a quality pair of shocks. The front end seems fine and I recently had the forks flushed so no issues there. I'm about to replace my rear Metzler ME 888 after 13K+ miles and the front only has 7K on it.
So what do you like/recommend and why? thanks!

If you don't need fancy fully adjustable shocks, I'd recommend the Hagon Road Shocks. They are inexpensive ($220/pair), ride smooth, and last a long time. The ones on my Street Bob have about 44k miles on them, and feel as good as new. I recently replaced the set on my Triumph Bonneville for fresh ones. The first set lasted over 70k hard miles, including some off-road, before they felt a little tired and the seals were starting to leak. Call Dave Quinn Motorcycles and he will custom assemble a set suited to your bike and riding style.
