I am a Pro Action fan but I am trying Bitubo's on my road king. Should have them installed later this week. People seem to have positive things to say about them and their price point is attractive.

There's a recent review that has been posted about them.

Honestly, if you've been relatively satisfied with the factory air shocks up to this point, pretty much any aftermarket shock will feel worlds better.
Suspension Technologies is having a $100 off sale ending soon. I think you can get a set of their Black Hills 13 inch shocks for $499 shipped. That's a pretty good deal.

I have stopped commenting and ignoring your posts. Shall I post your first post that you were complaining about your shocks 3 days before you signed for them. There is a word for your evaluation unless you are staring on a TV show that lets you go back in time. Yes, in your own words on HDF is your evaluation and than there is the UPS signature required that you signed three days (after the weekend) when you received them. I really do not wish to waste another second on you.

Howard you do what ever your little heart desires, I had your shocks and they sucked plain and simple. And also your Holier than thou attitude doesn't help people like you either.

And as far as complaining about my shocks three days before I signed for them, YOU ARE FULL OF ****!! Think you have the wrong guy there Howard. Of course Im sure there are more people than me whom you have pissed off with your arrogant smart *** attitude, so I could see where you could be wrong.

Ohlins are the best plain and simple, people who have no shock knowledge and don’t know how to adjust them want to blame the product. Read their post and you can easily tell their lack of knowledge and unwillingness to learn.
