After searching I found several companies that sell Air suspensions for Harleys.

http://www.trickyair.com/HD-FLH-Rear.html has 4" travel air shocks

http://www.legendsuspensions.com/pro...end-aero-a-flh Expensive, well designed but may provide the best ride, adjust-ability and handling of the air ride systems. Kevlar rubber airspring, adjustable deflective disc rebound, handlebar mounted switches that are integral to a replacement clutch lever clamp, Deutsch connections.

Shotgun shocks http://www.shotgunshock.com/ordering.html

http://airfxusa.com/stock.php#content

http://dirtyworks-kc.com/t/air-ride http://www.skullycustoms.com/product...ir-ride-system http://www.xoticcustoms.com/images/k...ith-remote.jpg have a 4.5" travel from 9.5-14". These companies and many others use $60.00 Monroe MA785 corvette shocks as a starting point.

Hard to tell how all these will handle bumps and ruts and keep the tire on the road.
