Default shock interchange ?

will the premium ride adjustable HD 13 inch shocks off of a 2018 roadglide work on a 09 ultra classic and be better than my air shocks (usually ride 2 up) that work good and don't leak or should I save my money ..thanks

They will fit, but save your money and put it towards some better shocks. Many good aftermarket choices from Ohlins, Legend, Pro Action etc.

Save your money on buying any stock Harley shocks! There are at last a few aftermarket brands that will make you - and more importantly Mrs Bill - a lot more comfortable and happier. You will be riding further on your riding trips, believe me! Mrs B loves our Ohlins….

Yes they will fit and yes they are better than the air shocks. If your not looking to put big bucks into shocks but want better than the air shocks, I say get them. That is if you find a good deal, I wouldn't pay retail for a set at the dealer. I found a good deal and put them on my bike. I don't regret it.
