Yet another vote for Howard - he can supply a variety of shocks, some of which are only available from him and can also supply Ohlins fork cartridges, which for your '09 are FKC101.

I've had Progressive 944, Works Steel Trackers and now Ohlins 2.5.

Call Howard, go with the Ohlins.

Every aftermarket shock that I know of gets better reviews than even the premium HD stuff. You really can't go wrong. With that said, I have Ohlin #6's from Howard and hope to upgrade the fronts next winter.
