Ohlins
I am about to order a set of ohlins # 6 shocks for my streetglide. I have heard nothing except glowing reviews on these shocks. Before I place the order I thought I would ask here if anyone has had a bad experience with the #6 shocks. Like I said everything I find on this shock sounds great. I just want to be sure before I place the order.

I've got Howard's #3-#3 shocks and they are excellent...
I thought seriously about the #6 shocks, but I was afraid they would be "too tall" for me....
If the #6 shocks are better than the #3-#3s (as they should be based on their technical design), you'll be thrilled...!!!

I have the #6's on our 2014 Limited. 37,xxx miles now and love them.
Just returned from a 4,700 mile trip out west and south on it last couple of weeks with the wife and loaded heavy for 2 weeks on the road.
They are the standard, IMHO.
Please report your experience once you try them out.
All the best,
Shane

So everyone is happy with the Ohlins #6? That is what I have been finding in my research. Looks like I will be making a call to order. Hopefully I can get some time this afternoon to do that.

One piece of advice.
Be 100% honest with him, and yourself. Give him your exact weight and the weight of your passenger, don't just guess or ball park it. I know this is sometimes a sensitive subject. Be honest about how you ride as well. The more accurate the information you give him is, the better he can set them up for you and it will save a bunch of headaches in the future. You're spending a lot of money, you might as well give him what he needs to make them perfect for you. JMHO
Oh, and get ready to do the fronts too. Even my 2-2b from him highlight the weakness in the front end
Post a review once you get them.
