Default Fox Shocks?

Anyone have any experience with these shocks? I’ve been running a set of 12” Drag Specialities shocks. Recently I’ve started having some issues with my power back. With the Drag shocks I’m feeling the bumps in my lower back a lot more than I used to. I’m looking got a better shocks that are going to provide a better ride. I was looking at these, but before dropping almost a grand on a set of shocks I’m looking got opinions on them.

Buy ohlins. You won't regret it. I don't know if fox is going to be apt to rebuild their shocks in fifteen years. Where ohlins will.

Look at Bitubo. As good as Ohlins without the cost.

I loved my Ohlins on my Street Glide, but I'll likely be going with Fox on my Dyna. I spent $1600 on remote reservoir Ohlins and was happy with them, even had them dialed in and installed by the pros. I pulled them off and sold them when I bought my Dyna, and replaced them with $350 13" Progressives. In my opinion, the Progressives are 90% as comfortable. That's probably not a super popular review, but it's what I found to be true.



Side note... Fox has reliably been making fantastic suspension for dirtbikes/ATVs for years now, and I don't foresee any issues whatsoever with them not being able to rebuild/warranty their products. So far every review I've seen of Fox shocks on Harley bikes has been fantastic. That's why they're almost assuredly going to be my choice when I'm finally ready to pull the trigger

Also, check Parts Giant for pricing, they're way cheaper than most places I've found.

Under $800:

No problem!

Might be worth checking with Parts Giant on this forum too, I think on some items they offer a forum member discount

No idea about the Fox shocks but like others here, I’ve had great experience with Progressives.
