Default Springer Shock Absorber
I am trying to find out if anyone makes an alternative front shock for the XBones. I love the Springer front end, but I feel it needs a better shock absorber. Anyone know of any alternatives?

I would also be interested in the ride quality of an after market shock. Still have the the factory shock on my 03 FXSTSI.
