RE: aftermarket shocks
not stock looking, just one of the best. You have your choice of Ohlines or ours motorcyclemetal/Penske. You can get them without the piggyback gas reserves also. You can get it custom built with any travel you like.

They look like good shocks. But $420, and it say "shocks are sold each", so $840 for a pair?

RE: aftermarket shocks
I have an '06 Street bob with Progressive 440's on the rear and Racetech Cartridge emulators/Progressive Springs up front. What an amazing difference in handling- sweeping turns better, front end dipping while braking eliminated(mostly), better adjustment for 2 up riding, no bottoming out. Racetech set up the cartridge emulator per my weight and riding preferences. Great improvement in handling, and I recommend it. Jay

What length are your shocks, and how did the mods affect the ride?

RE: aftermarket shocks
Since when is handling the same as ride? A racecar handles like it's on tracks, but the ride will break your back after a while. A towncar rides like a cloud but handles like a tugboat. As for reading the whole post, you didn't answer the length question, either.But I do agree with you on that second point you made...
