Default "Real" chrome Roadglide air shocks ...

Does anybody know who makes some "real" chrome Roadglide air shocks? I've got a set of knock-offs on the bike now... but whatever goes on, needs to be chrome.

Else I'll just put my Progressive HD-412s back on.

The air draggers, max air pressure is 150psi, even at that they will not pump up enough for 2 up.Something else is if you pump them up on the jiffy stand, the shocks will extend, once you sit on it , it just drops. One good thing is if you lose air you still have about 2" of travel, I called progressive & they told me its the leverage ratio & not for ment for Dynas. Scoot does sit low, Once the wife starts riding with me again, I'll be getting rid of the air draggers, If you need pics to see what mean let me know

Yep.. I know exactly what you mean... the shocks on the Dyna are at a greater angle, and therefore the force exerted on them is greater than on RG. Thanks for the info.
