Try some FL air shocks, NOT from a Street Glide, they are too short. I've been running them for over 5 years and love it.

The FXDF shocks are the same length as the FXDC & are actually a noticeable upgrade over stock Super Glide shocks. Much better ride than stock, look cool AF (IMO) & can be had for short dollars as take-offs.

As a Switchback owner, ......this! If you want the look of the lipstick tube, I think Progressive and Hagon offer something with a similar look, but I believe their options are slightly upgraded in performance vs. very upgraded in performance (specific to the lipstick tube look).
