I had them on my 09 Street Glide. I thought they were a tremendous improvement over the stock air shocks. No more bracing for my spine to be jammed in to the base of my skull. In my opinion, worth the money.
I took them off and have them on a shelf in the garage. Waiting to put a bunch of miles on my Limited to see if I like the stock shocks or if I will putt the 944's on my Limited.
You can find them used for around $300-350. Good luck with your decision.

I have them on my '15 Limited Low. At the price point I think they're pretty good. I'm 230 & ride solo all the time, the standard springs weren't heavy enough. Progressive swapped them out for the heavy duty springs for free, even though I'm not the original owner. TOP notch customer service!

I just put them on my 16 Limited. Lots of control, kinda stiff (got the heavy dutys) but no bottoming out like I was getting on the air shocks. I weigh 275.

2011 RKC and had 940s on 2009 - you can't NOT beat there customer service when you have a problem - returns/replacements no question asked but keep the original bill/invoice.
Great ride after you get them dialed in........

Camper - question for you. What did you set the preload? I've got a new set of 944 HD's that I rode for about 2 months and took back off. Too stiff (I had the preload at 3-5 rings so I'm pretty sure the stiffness was my fault). I'm 300#. I'm pretty sure I can make these work better than the OEM air shocks. Appreciate your feedback.
