Default Tired suspension

Seems it's time to replace the worn out suspension on my 99 nightrain. When I push up and down on the sissy bar it's really easy to move, any suggestions on what to replace it with? Thx in advance

All the shops in my area like Progressive.

Spanners doesn't but then again he is upside down compared to us..

Shotgun Shock. Ride height and firmness fully adjustable. Second choice, progressive.

Progressive shocks are an excellent choice. If price is no object, I'd go with Ohlin. I finally made the move, glad a saved up the money, they are worth it.... to me..
