Thinking of swapping out the 11" HD air shocks on my 07 Street Glide to Ohlins #2. Looking for input from anyone.

 

Don't look back, just do it!

I am completely stoked with my 2-2A's Ohlins.

No more hassle with my then leaking stock air shocks!

I have the 3-1 ohlins on my 09 sg. Had these now a few years and really happy with them.

 

I just put 2-2A's on my bike. I have not put enough miles on them to break them in, but I can already tell they're better than stock.

 

I have the 2-2 b, on my roadglide ultra and had them on my 09 ultra prior to that, best upgrade I did for both bikes. I had them rebuilt by Howard after 40k last year. The wife and I do a lot of 4 and 5k road trips and we love the shocks. We thought the Harley air shocks were awesome in 2001 when we road a friends new road king, it was a great improvement over the pan and shovels we rode up to that point, never owned an evo bike.

 

Thanks for all the input, don't want to make a bad decision spending the kind of money for shocks. Haven't found anyone who was unhappy with them.

 

I can't comment on onlins but have heard they are really good but expensive. I went with Progressives on my 09 SG and now have them on my 13 SG and have been very happy with them. The first weekend after I put them on, the wife and I did a 260 mile ride and realized how bad the stock shocks really were. The Progressives were $549 and I switched them out in an hour. Any choice will be better than stock!

 

I have had the #2-#3's on for at least 5 years. Howard did a fabulous job getting the valving spot on as well as the spring rate. They work very very well.

 

You will be very happy with them

 

If your interested in the 2's I would call Howard with Motorcycle Metal and tell him your a member of this forum. He gives a discount to forum members. I think you will find out that the cost difference is not that significant.
