Default Ohlins quick question?

I see these shocks referred to as 2 2, or 2 3, or 3 3. What does that mean?
I an looking at these now. But there are so many choices. Have a 2011 Electra Glide limited. Ride mostly 1 up. Wife has her own bike. 6 1" 220. Hate the stock shocks!! Thanks

They are model designations from Howard at http://www.motorcyclemetal.com/gpage32.html

Go to that page & you'll see each has different length, stroke, adjustable/non adjustable valving etc. A call to Howard will get you the right ones for your needs.

I just installed the 2-2b and they are awesome and would be a good choice.

Howard is very helpful on the different shocks, so give him a call.

I have the 2-2A for my King. I originally had my King lowered an inch with stock HD Profile Lows, so I went with these Ohlins. The 2-2A is similar in length to the 2-2, but the A has a longer stroke, as an example. But Howard will build to your specs with correct spring rate, etc.
