Pretty sure Howard told me 35K. I plan to send them in to him next winter. They will have around 30K on them....

When it comes to Harley suspension, I do what Howard tells me to do.

Do it over the winter or put your stock shocks back on for a week. I am really not seeing where this is a big deal. It's service just like anything else on the bike. If you don't care enough about your ride quality to maintain it you probably shouldn't buy them.

Exactly. Keep the stock shocks on the shelf and swap them when Service is due. If you don't have the stockers anymore, buy a cheap set on eBay or in the classified section. Look on the bright side, you'll have a reminder of why you upgraded the shocks when you throw the stockers back on for a week or two.
