I have an 06 Streetglide, have been running on the 13" HD air shocks since new, removed the 12" shocks after about a month. I use to run the SuperShox on my sprint car 10 years ago and knew the quality and support I would get from SuperShox. I am not sure what the spring rate is, but they do have a standard and HD spring. I ride 90% 2-up and have a tour pack on my bike and use the standard spring (I am about 255, wife around 115). They provide a setup chart for reference but recommend you set them to 11-3/8 eye to eye fully loaded and just ride. Adjustment is as easy as turning the large nut on the body, adjusting just by hand, no tools. Ride is amazing, like being in a luxury car. Where I used to yell back to my wife "bump" when I saw railroad tracks or bridge coming, now we just float across. Good compression and smooth rebound with a nice controlled transition. Best $600 I have spent on my bike......you know the saying, happy wife, happy life....my wife LOVES them.
If you have any questions, just give them a call, they are very good people and they love talking about shocks! Lol

Installed the Super Shox about an hour ago and took the bike for a ride over some crappy New England roads.
They give a nice smooth ride absorbing the worst frost heaved highway joints to the point I was no longer getting launched off the seat. The control over the bump through a 30mph dipping and rising corner doing 50mph was good. The bike may handle a little better with the $1600.00 Ohlins but I'm not sure. I need to install the new front end and see how it performs with both sets of shocks. Once the front end is done it will be easier to feel what the *** end is doing.
Still have to ride two up and see how they perform. Preload adjustment is easy and the engraved settings are easy to see.
Oh, 2000 road king, I'm 225#, 32 inseam. Came set at "3" which handles and rides well however I set them at 2.5 and they soaked up the highway joint speed bump and still handled well through that turn.

Hi guys, just installed a set of Super Shox on my 14 limited last week and went on a 1800 mi. Ride. Wow!..what a difference over the Air shocks, it made the ride more enjoyable and less fatigue. Only adjusted them twice on my ride to fine tune them. Love the 3" travel and ease of adjustment. I would recommend these shocks to anyone who who wants to trash the piece of **** air shocks!!
Good luck in your decision

Thanks for the report Sky, looking forward to more comments after a few more miles.
This may well be the route I go.
