Dyna shocks
Hello riders,
I have a Dyna Low Rider 2006 and I am planning replacing the rear shocks. The reason is an old neck injury. If the shocks hit the bottom hard, I will not be able to go to work for a week. If they bottom slightly, I feel it the next days as pain inside my neck joint.
I am looking for a real good pair of shocks which are comfortable, are looking nice and will never hit the bottom.
Any suggestions? What are your experiences?
Best wishes

I have the same ride. I tried the 11" Progressive 412 and they are better than the stock but still a bit rough. I now have the 13" Progressive 444 with standard springs and they have a nice bounce to them. Look great too.

The best shocks I've ever had on a bike are Ohlins. You can get them a little longer than stock, maybe .5 to 1 inch over, and that will give you even more travel and comfort.
If the Stockholm in your sig is the one in Sweden you're in luck.

Shorter shocks generally have heavier duty springs. Some, so heavy duty that they don't really absorb shocks, but rather transmit those shocks to your spine.

I had the same problems with my back. Switched to Ohlins in the rear. Problem solved. Then you'll realize how bad the front suspension is compared to the rear. Ohlins has a solution for that as well.
