Aftermarket shock price/performance perceived improvement only psychological
#21
Well, I had never had a bike with air shocks, my 09, 12, and 13 CVOs came with HD premium shocks. Took delivery of my 15 CVO Road Glide ultra, at 1000 miles service told the dealer the shocks did not work right or some thing was wrong. The bike wallowed or was loose in a hard curve. They laughed and said to adjust my air shocks. I had, followed the manual and went in 2 pound increments 16 pounds over and under recommended for my weight. Still sucked in the curves, very smooth on the interstate.
Installed some Ohlin HD-159's. Huge improvement in the curves, handled like on rails.

Sorry just telling my EXPERIENCE with the 2-2bs, and that is what was being discussed here. And I didn't crap on anybody just told the truth about my buying experience!!

Momma liked the Ohlin 3-3s we had on the 2011 RGU so much that when we bought the 2018 CVO Limited she asked me (before ever riding on or seeing for that matter the bike) to put the same kind of shocks on it. So I sent them back to Howard for a rebuild (they had about 30,000 miles on them) and installed them along with a set of -1" progressive Monotubes.
Momma is happy on the back of the new bike (except for buffeting)and all is right in the world....

Thats a dick move bro. Just because you have low suspension standards, and like the dramatically inferior HD suspension, doesn’t mean that we’re all liars for posting that we like something else better.
Edit: This reply was directed at the OP.

No, you basically just called us all liars for saying our aftermarket suspension is better than the stock HD garbage. Or that we’re so shallow that we’ll lie about the performance of our suspension in order to justify the money we spent on it.
