That’s about exactly where I am at weight wise on my 2017 Ultra Limited. I’m going to be doing a side by side in a few weeks with the Pro-actions and Ohlins 2-2a adjustables that I picked up from a couple of members here last year.

DJ at Pro-Action has been extremely helpful in getting me lined out on a set up. Unfortunately I can’t say the same about the other vendor (actually the complete opposite) but luckily there have been some OUTSTANDING forum members that have stepped up to help with the Ohlins (which I can’t thank them enough).

I think in the end it’ll be a coin toss as I’ve heard great things about both.

I also have the 14” Pro-Actions on the radar that DK customs is selling with a 1” lowering block for our weight range. Those come with a lifetime warranty

I know this is an old thread, but why would Ohlins (I bowed my head as required when I typed that) require an over 21 yr old person to sign for shocks?? Are they a lethal weapon or something? That seems a bit much.
