Does turning the shock over affect the ride? I ask this because the OL road glide rides very stiff to me. Everyone brags on these hand ajustable shocks but i like my air shock a lot better.

Not according to what I was told. I didn't notice any difference on mine after I did it. If you are not putting any detachables on the back, you can leave it the way it is.

I just checked my 14 SGS and those are definitely upside down. I will say these ride better than my 12 RK air shocks. When I first rode the bike I thought they were a little rough until I adjusted them for two up riding, and now they are hands down better than the stock air shocks plus no need now to ever check air pressure again.

I believe if you compare the picture of the OPs 2015 right rear shock to the right rear of a 2014, the coils of a '14 get progressively tighter to the point where they are actually touching at one end. The coils on a '15 have even spacing throughout the entire length of the spring.
