Default 95 FXSTC shock upgrade question

Have a 95 FXSTC in excellent condition. I was thinking about upgrading the suspension so I just purchased the shotgun shock air ride from JD in Cali. In the mail. Excited to put it in. Was wondering if of you have these on an evo? Let me know what you think of the ride and adjustability. From what I'm hearing it was the right decision.

well it seems that any air ride, if adjusted right, would be a great improvement over stock.

I have always heard great things with those. Compare that to my aftermarket cheap lowered shocks that makes my *** bounce off the seat. I would be better off going rigid with a spring seat.

I had a HD Heritage Springer seat on my 99 FXStC when I got it, and I use to bounce off the seat a lot. I finally got and original pillow seat for it, and I never bounce off anymore. That seat has got to be the best seat HD ever made as far as comfort.
