Default ohlin shocks #2-2A

Does anyone have experience with these shocks on a 2009 to 2013 streetglide. Wondering if the ride height is impacted. Please share performance opinions as well. Thanks

Hi D, if you put '2-2A' into the Search above (centre of blue bar) you'll get around 60 posts in which they get a mention. Ohlins from that supplier have plenty of fans in HDF!

They are a 12" shock , when you set the sag which is about 1" you will sit at 11" , if you are running the 12" air shocks they should sit a little lower

Best thing to do, if you are considering Ohlins, is to call Howard at motorcyclemetal and discuss your needs with him.

Thanks guys. I would prefer to get feedback from actually users. I am most interested in the seat height of his 2-2A compared to stock 12 in air shocks.

Installed a set of those last year on my 10 SG, if there's any difference in ride height I can't tell. Big difference in ride quality though.
