Default Air Shock Question

Will the air shocks from a 2006 Road King (54565-97C) fit a 2009 Electra Glide Classic which came with these shocks (54565-09)?

yes.

physically shocks are interchangeable from about 1983 FLT to 2015 Touring models.

the valving is different and I think the older shocks are softer in the ride.


If buying used shocks, make sure they have been stored sealed and upright to keep dust out and the oil in.
if the oil has leaked out you can search for instructions on how to drain and refill teh oil- and selecting oil grades to tune the ride
