02 FLHT shocks

Have an 02 FLHT Standard, 85,000 miles. I am ready to replace the rear shocks, any suggestions? 2up riding, would like to get a good ride for the wife.

There are quite a few to choose from, Ohlins, Progressives, etc. Depends on how much you want to spend as well. I've been looking at these http://supershox.com/motorcycle-shoc...rley-davidson/

Of the choices suggested by dawg I went with Ohlins, for which we have an HDF sponsor Howard to thank! Mrs B loves ours, having ridden across Europe pre- and with-Ohlins.

I have the SuperShox. One of the best features of these is that you don't have to fark around with setting sag when you install them.

Not sure about down there but up here in the great white north I could get Ohlins 2-2b from Motorcycle Metal for about the same price as Progressive 444. Get a quote from him. Forum members get a good discount off the prices on his website.
