I like a soft ride so I went last night with the setting on "one", by my self and did a 60+ mile run through the back roads here in Louisiana.----- "sweet"-- comes to mind. I would definitely bottom with wife aboard but by myself --- Very nice riding and responsive to boot. As someone else mentioned, now I have to make the front match the back. It's not that the front is any worse, it is that "now i can feel the front more because I no longer feel the back as much".

My personal opinion: go down that road. I took mama for a putt and she said she hit too much at 31/2 so I took it to 41/2 and she said it was great. We went about 80 miles on hi way 80 in Louisiana, and if you know Louisiana, you know the roads suck. I also found that I can run around on the upper numbers without too stiff a ride, but if I'm going solo for any distance, I put it down to 1. A few minutes to pop the bags, re-set the preload and I'm off again. These shocks are light years better than the oem airs, but can't speak to comparisons of other aftermarket shocks. These are close enough for government work-- ha ha

That's a good looking shock although I know you can't see it with the bags on. Looks like you either call them or wait for an email. I've got a 11SG and I'm thinking about going with the 13" shock for the ride and ground clearance.

Well, You guys convinced me, I pulled the trigger. My Super Shox will arrive tomorrow.
I'll join the fold with a review after a few miles with them. I'm very hard to please so I have my fingers crossed!

I have to say, all the talk about Super Shox on the forum, shows you the value of good marketing, so many companies, I think, have a business model which starts with creating a buzz on HDForums.com.
Which means I'll be buying a set for winter mods.....
