Well you did ask!

My pockets are not that deep, but I have some possibilities :-) I looked at the Ohlins and I was surprised at first because I didn't know they were doing shocks for street bikes. I will contact the HD forum member.

I kept reading that RoadKing Air Shocks were the ones to get. I picked up a set and haven't installed them ... probably won't get around to it. Anyone interested in taking them off my hands for $50? That's what I paid and it includes the inflation valve and tubing.
