I am a believer (Ohlins shocks)
Well I was a big fan of my legends Aero-A shocks, love the adjustability on the fly and they were such an improvement over stock I was very happy. Then I put 20 miles on a friends bike with ohlins rear shocks. I quickly contacted Howard at Motorcycle Metal and ordered a set of remote reservoir rear shocks for my 2015 Street glide. Well I just got back from a 340 mile ride and I am super impressed with these shocks. If you are on the fence trust me you cant go wrong with Ohlins. So plush on the small square edge bumps and very controlled on higher speed g-out situations. Now I wonder whether or not I should switch out my legends front cartridges for Ohlins units...I need to make more money now. Thank you Howard for the very fast quality service!

Ohlins sent me an 18-27nm progressive for the HD 357. Ohlins will help you out no matter the vendor. The ride is VERY good now for 1up AND 2up. The standard 25 and 21-29 progressive was a bit much 1 up. 210lb rider, 110lb passenger. 1 3/8"+ sag 2up. 16 clicks comp, 12 rebound for 1 up. 14 comp, 12 rebound 2up. 2up we hit the bump stop only on the largest of stuff. As it should be. ymmv

Rode 340 miles today. I am a newbie and it hurts. Without the Ohlins it would have been unbearable. The stock "adjustable" Harley shocks will drive your butt up around your shoulders. Thanks again, Howard.

Read the many comments on this conversion 41mm to 49mm on this forum and many other forums who have done this. Below is fitment for the RK Nacelle.
