@Dano1998 Come back and let us know what you decide to do. I never see the results from the threads that you start. Good luck with your decision!

Good shocks are worth the money.

What did you use to add air?
Reason: the volume of air is minimal.
Requires a special no loss pump.
Several makers.
If you use a regular bicycle pump or pressure gauge then volume will go down and so will pressure.
Hopefully you will return with a response.

I will be replacing the rear shocks next month (February)along with replacing both the oil and tranny drain plugs to a self tapping piggy back drain plugs. It’s winter up here in Connecticut it February we start getting warm days that remind you to get going on bike maintenance. Progressive has $300 shocks that are decent but they have a $500 shock that’s much better. I have to pick up a front fork rebuild kit . I have to replace all of the brake pads . Remove and replace primary oil and adjust clutch. I couple of days work I have coming up along with my Bassboat …….. where will I find the time fellas ?

I suggest you make sure that the air fittings at the top of forks don`t leak first.

My Cousin has a 07 StreetGlide with leaking air shocks. Thanks for the link on how to rebuild them.
