I know the Dyna guy absolutely rave about the Works shocks for their rides. I have no experience with them on Softy's, but if the reviews from the Dyna guys mean anything, you will LOVE Works shocks on your Softail.

i have them on my sporty... expensive shocks and they are custom made for your weight. if i was to do it again, i would have given them a weight less than mine at the low end and a weight a bit higher than me and my +2 for the top end. i have to set my shocks at each "extreme" when i ride now eventhough there are several choices. if i had given them a lower low weight and higher high weight, i think i would have more adjustment choices. so so much better than stockers, even with my "complaints".
btw, on the sporty the adjustments are so easy... twist the shock to change settings. no idea how this would work on a softtail
