I've got FOX on my DYNA and love them. Nice to hear about them on a bagger.

Long video but worth the watch. This was about a year ago, 3 months ago he posted a video saying that his new favorite was Russ Wernimont Designs shocks.

ive actually tried Pro-Action two different times thinking that the first time I tried them may have been my misconception.
In my opinion the pro-action feel harsher to me than the Fox. The fox shocks feel very plush but not floaty over bumps, they feel solid and you can tell they are absorbing the bumps and your seat stays level with just the swing arm moving.
The Pro-Action didn’t give me that feeling. When I hit a larger bump I knew it! They didn’t have that plush ride but they did perform well around curves.
I know everyone feels different things when riding so it’s a very subjective subject but for me the Fox proved best.
I feel like I have stumbled upon a well kept secret. If you search Fox shocks on this site not much will be found.

The Fox part number is 897-27-202. They have preload and dampening adjustments.
The retail is $799 but direct cycle parts sells them for $699. Revzilla will match that price and offer 2 day delivery. Mine actually arrived the next day.

A 14" travel shock will be much smoother than a 13" shock. I have the 14" super shoxs and I never bottom out or jump out of my seat on any roads I've traveled in over a year. very smooth ride.
I rode from Nj to California and back this year.

Interesting ! I love my Fox remote reservoir shocks on my desert truck, do they have front fork kits as well ? I could look it up I guess.
