Default Super Shox?

Has anyone tried Super Shox? I'm wondering how they compare to other top brands.

I put a set of them on last winter, and I really only have the OEM shocks to gauge against, but I love them. The ride is worlds better than the factory units ever thought of being.

Do a search and you can find some info on them. They came out strong and then fizzled out a bit. What seems to stick are ohlins, progessive, legends and pro action. The new harley coil overs have a fair following as well. Anythings better than the stock air shocks.
They used to offer a trial period. If they still do that is worth a shot. You may like them.

I installed Supershox on my 2015 Street Glide last year, and they were definitely a big upgrade from stock SG shocks. Good damping over RR tracks, and performed well 2-up. Easy to adjust, great warrantee, made in USA (10 minutes from me, haha). I recommend them.

I have found that if you want to read up on almost any HD topic, go to google and type in hdforums your subject here. There are several threads about them.

Ah people are finally learning how to search. I've suggested this method be a sticky on every forum, but alas...

you dont need the "hdforums" prefix on your search, tho. FYI.

I suggest the hdforums prefix because the OP posted the question here. It could just as easily have been one of the other sites. Just different approaches to the same result.

I dont mean to fork the thread, but the "site:hdforums.com" is all you need. Thats what restricts your results to only hdforums contend. No need to have an additional "hdforums" to begin your query.

I have the Super Shox on my RGU. I think they're better than the Progressive 444's I put on my Ultra Classic. As was mentioned they are easily adjustable for solo or two-up riding.

Have them on my '13 FLHX and am very happy with them and their customer service. They had some seal issues in the early units, but they ship full replacement shocks at their expense, you swap and then send back your units shipping paid by them. Couldn't ask for better service. Like everyone else has said, easily adjustable for the ride that you need.
