Default Shocks

Will air ride shocks from a 2014 Street Glide work on a 2015 Dyna? They both measure 12”. Wife complains about the rough ride and it’s cheaper to keep the wife in the long run

Get a set of take off FXDF shocks for short money. Moco actually sold them as an upgrade for other models. Much, much better ride & control than the regular Dyna shocks. My OL is lil' miss "Princess & the Pea" & even she remarked on how nice the bike rode with them.

I've had OEM air shocks on my 07 Dyna for over 60,000 miles. BIG improvement AFTER I changed the oil in them. HD oil is way too thick so I drained em and refilled with 10w fork oil, with the help of my Mighty Vac. Solo - 8 psi, 2 up - 15 psi.

had the same issue. Stock shocks on my 2010 WG are complete ****. Got some Legend Revo-Arcs. Damn dude - should of done that a long time ago! They are money but money well spent. I just threw the stock shocks in the recycler. Don't wish those POS on anybody.

I did Legend suspension and if I had to choose I would do rear first. But both after miles/time getting the rear dialed in and letting the front break in (took about 3k miles) she rides like a cat.
