Default Front suspension time!

So I just finished installing a set of 12" air shocks from a streetglide on my fxdc. The back is SO much better now, and its time to do the front. So I am weighing my options, and all seem like they will improve my ride. So, vote, and Ill take the opinions in to account!

Also, if you are doing the shock oil change on the touring shocks, do yourself a favor and get the mightyvac. I had both changed in ten minutes, worked awesome! I used mobil1 sythetic ATF in them for fluid. They ride great!

I run a race tech gold valve emulator kit and love it. Theres a lot of adjustability with them to get it in the sweet spot. I don't think ricor intiminators are adjustable but a lot of guys are running them
