Air shocks.......gone!
Thanks to Howard at Motorcyclemetal I have gotten rid of my oem air shocks! I went with a set of 13" JRI "A" shocks. The oem shocks were mounted with a lowering bracket but with the JRI's I was able to put them back in the stock location. After the sag was set I still have the lowered ride height. I've only gotten in a 50 mile test ride so far but they are a definite improvement!

No, not cheap but Howard still had some sets left over from his holiday promo so that put them in my price range!

Well done - a man of taste! These things are dirt cheap. Mrs B and I have NEVER bottomed out and enjoy the most remarkable ride quality. I strongly recommend trying either Howard's Ohlins or his JRI shocks - there is no better way to travel! My Ohlins #3-3, from pre-JRI days, note the similarities:

That's a tease! I bought mine several years ago, so what I paid won't mean much. Other HDF members assure us that Howard gives a generous discount on his website prices, so take a look at his website, at:

When you've recovered your breath, bear in mind that these shocks provide us Harley owners with a ride quality we have every right to expect from the MoCo, but have only dreamed about. I can expand on that!
