I've been searching around for shocks for a while, and have been reading up on the forums around height, weight, etc.....

There's a ton of information available, I'm fully aware, but I hoped to get specific recommendation between a decision for my bike.

Narrowed down my picks to between stock FXDLS (front and rear suspensions), HAGON 2810.
I'm curious as to the differences between the nitro and the 2810.

I've been on the hagon site, but I'm not seeing clearly understanding the key differences between the 2810 and nitro units for sale. (Aside from price, ha!!)

I'm on a 2014 FXDL, and my budget would allow for either the FXDLS complete set, or either of the hagons.
Meaning, if I bought the wagon suspension, it would be a while before I can afford the front springs & cartridge.

I'm a 5"7, 180 pound dude who rides with his gf 30%. Mostly city riding, don't really have much canyon carving opportunities where I live.

In my shoes, for those that have ridden these shocks - what would you install?

 

I have 13" Nitros. They are a very noticeable step up in suspension vs. stock (in my case a Switchback) shocks. I've had the Nitro's since 2014 or so and IIRC, the difference between them and the 2810's are...

Nitro's have greater degree of rebound adjustability
Internals on Nitro's have "better" performance (I forgot the "why" of what makes them better)
I think the Nitro's have a greater degree of internal travel

Personally, I wouldn't bother with the FXDLS shocks unless they were such a good deal that you couldn't pass them up. I'm of the opinion that having some kind of rebound adjustment matters.

 

The standard FXDLS rear shocks are pretty good for OEM Harley stuff, just the height is not up to par for any spirited riding.

I swapped over to some 13.5 Ohlins and it totally transformed the bike. Don't scrimp on suspension/brakes.

Yes, HUNDREDS.

Hell, I travel 200 miles of absolute CRAPPY traffic just to play in your yard!

I'm talking lane splitting for 80+ miles...

 

I don't live in Glendora at the moment am actually in Singapore!

Just ordered a basic set from Nitro, spoke with em extensively, and he mentioned either to buy nitros or the basic set.

I went w the basic that gives 3 preload adjustments. If I like them, I'll consider the 2810 or nitro as an upgrade after

thanks so much for the responses <3 <3
