I prefer and went with Legend Revo shocks and Legend AXEO front suspension. My 14 Limited rides great. They come with a Lifetime warranty and they are made in America. Do some research. I'm sure Ohlins are great based on positive reviews, I just prefer American products when possible. Legend is owned and run by a group of Harley enthusiast. They back there products as long as you own them. If they need rebuilding, you simply call for approval. Pay one way shipping, they handle the rest.
Most importantly, I love how my bike rides and handles.
Do your research.

Dealer allowed me to try the Harley premium adjustable 13" shocks and found them stiff for one up riding but pretty good for two up. Ended up with the Ohlins S36E and love them. Found a sweet spot for one and two up riding and have not touched them since.

Pro-Action Street Series rear shocks come in 13". I've got a set on my 15RGS paired with Legend Axeo front kit. I'm roughly the same weight as you and I couldn't be more happier with the way it turned out!

Ohlins is getting a lot of positive responses here. I too have the Ohlins S36E (HD039). The HD039 is the stock length for your SGS, and I've been very happy with mine.

Just installed 12" legend revo-a shocks replacing progressive 444 and these are leaps and bounds better than progressive. i only have about 200 miles on them, but they are impressive. i have monotubes up front and i'm gonna replace those with the legend axeo as soon as i can.SO FLAME ON, i can see it coming now
