As for the sponsor his comments are exactly why I have Pro-Action on my bike and not his. People buy from people. You can have the best product in the world, but if you are a jerk I値l go elsewhere.
I have been reading your posts for a long time and I would never want to meet or ever contact me for anything. I guess we are even. My long time opinion of you is you spend way too much time on soap opera and beauty shop banter and no time on helping others on motorcycles. I have a lot to do and wasting another second of time recalling your wasted band with is counterproductive.

All of this over a single word...the OP used “made” instead of using the word “built”. The RWD shocks are “built” in the USA (per the link he provided in his original post). He is completely happy with his shocks and was simply sharing his experience for others

Thank you Howard for your help in this matter.

Well said

He does not have to worry about me contacting him. I spend my money more wisely with quality people and companies that I respect.

I am glad to learn that he has been enjoying reading my posts for a long time now! LOL

This sponsor guy comes off like a real tool. I’m glad I didn’t buy anything from him. Oh, and still extremely pleased with my new shocks. Just got back from a 1000 mile ride. Night and day difference.

And as usual Howard, or God as I like to call him, has once again tried to make everyone believe he is the only one that can build shocks and or KNOWS anything about suspension . Well I would weld my swing arm solid before I would ever deal with his arrogant attitude again . I drank his KOOLAID once but never again. I now have a new pair of Pro-Action 13" street series shocks and they are 10 times better than the Ohlins 2-2bs I had.

What? Another shock thread turned into a pissing contest over semantics? Say it isn't so!

Hi, I'm looking at the Pro-Actions as well for my 2019 Road King Special. What difference do you notice in ride height when sitting on the bike between the stock rubbish 12" shocks and the 13" PA? Cheers, John

I used the 1" Tarmack lowering blocks from DK customs and it actually sits about 1/2" lower now than it did with the stock shocks

So you used them with the Ohlins shocks? How did they work?
