I got the 6's for my 63'000 mile 2007 FLHTCU from Howard at Motorcycle Metal. After the first twenty miles, my thought is don't get a speeding ticket. This is a totally different motorcycle. Thank you Motorcycle Metal,Howard and Ohlins.

I feel my shocks are enticing me to abuse the clutch. The increase in control is well worth the price of admission. If your not running a high quality racing shock you are missing a lot of performance/fun. I highly recommend that riders contact Howard@MotorcycleMetal.

Take a look at the Motorcycle Metal website to get an idea, as there are several options with different prices. The popular options for touring bikes are what Howard calls his #2, #3 and top of the range #6. As a member of HDF Howard offers a discount, so best phone him for current pricing. We believe he's at Daytona at present, so let him get his breath back.
