Default Need advice: 2012 Ultra Limited Shocks

I bought my bike used and it had 944s on it. I want to go back with OEM air shocks but I can't find anything on which shocks will fit it. Can anyone help?

You can see the stock installation and part numbers on-line here. Part number for the shock is #54000036 and is widely available, new or secondhand.

Your 944's are adjustable have you tried adjusting them ? Might be worth a try before you get rid of them.

check the classifieds here BUT look for the 09s and up in 13" as that's what came stock on your bike..


09s and up have higher max air PSI than the 08 and down shocks due to frame design change

Good advice.

Have you tried adjusting the shocks? The settings just may be set for the previous owner. If he was heavier than you and rode two up these shocks need to be adjusted for your weight, one up vs, two up etc.

Graham gave you the numbers but I would not want to go back to stockers. There are better options out there. If you lived closer I would jut give you the takeoffs I have but I don't want to ship them.
