E-Bay Roadking Air Shocks
So I'm thinking about doing the upgrade to air shocks on my 2006 Sportster. Was looking on E-Bay for some used Roadking air shocks and came across some new shocks for a bout $40 more than the used ones are selling for. I'm sure they are cheap stuff out of China, but has anyone tried them yet?
For new shocks they are only about $40 more expensive than what the used ones are selling for.

If buying old units what is likely to go wrong with them?
Is there parts that wear out that can be serviced?

I was going off the list posted in this thread. Hopefully it helps https://www.hdforums.com/forum/sport...sportster.html
- What are the part numbers for air shocks that will fit the sportster?
I found this list, however, i'm not sure if all of those actually fit the sportster or if those are just model numbers of what's out there.

I have the 13in ones on my 06, but dont remember which PN they are. Swap meet special for $50. Hands down the best improvement for dollar spent on my Sportys. I did have to put some longer fork tubes on to get the frame level...the stance is pretty tall for a Sporty. If I had to guess I would think similar to the R's.

Well didn't find any cheap ones, so I bit the bullet and bought a pair off of E-Bay for $80 plus shipping, ad says they are brand new take offs and it includes the air fittings. I also ordered a set of progressive springs for the front end as it's sagging pretty bad and bottoming out. $200 total I hope it improves the ride as much as people say it will. Will be money well spent if it does.
