Default New shocks

Hi, I own a Harley Davidson Fat bob 2014. I'm looking to personalise it and part of this is new shocks. I'm looking at the progressive 430 12.5in. Does anyone have an alternative recommendation for a similar price. I'm in the UK and options are limited.
thanks for any advice
Garry S

You're close to Sweden. Can't go wrong with Ohlins.

I put 12.5" 430's on the wifes '08 FXDL; much improved ride (and we have some NASTY roads around here). While I can appreciate the quality of more expensive units; I've ridden many other motorcycles and spending the money Ohlins etc. cost is lipstick on a pig (or Hog; LOL) Just my opinion; your results may vary
