Are suspension upgrades really "night and day"?

On the rear I would say.That’s much better.On the front with suspension technologies,That was impressive. I traded in a 2010 limited that had Pro action shocks. I forgot to take them off. I rode home on a street glide special with hand adjustable shocks and instantly felt the difference. The Pro action shocks rode nicer then I thought.

I went with the Pro Action shocks in the rear on my Street Glide and the difference was noticeable, especially hitting bumps while cornering, the bike feels more planted. Had a chance to ride as a passenger (long story) on it the other day for a couple miles and it felt decent as well, combined weight was about 460 lbs....lol. Very impressed with the rear shocks, will be using Pro Action on the forks as well soon.

Suspension "upgrades" are worth it. I know now.

I have Bitubos from DK. Finally got them dialed in and glad I went this route. Not a ton of money like some of theses other shocks and air rides.

Out of the money I've spent on my bike, I'd say the rear suspension was one of the better upgrades Ive purchased. 10/10 would recommend.

I went wit SuperShox for my bike.

Stock springs on my 2019 FLHTP were .88 diameter, if I I am recalling correctly. Springs for my weight and my bike from RaceTech are 1.35 diameter springs. Significant difference that works.
