Road King Custom shocks
 

What would be the best shocks for an '06 Road King custom? Two-up touring and solo riding will be involved. I understand the RKC suspension is "lowered" compared to the other RK's. Cost is not a factor.....

Best for what? Comfort or handling? Two different answers. I have the Progressive 412s. handles real well but its a stiff ride

Should be able to get both comfort and handling.....I get both out of 418's on my FXDXT (after swapping bikes with my buddies RKC he noticed the dramatic difference).
Anyone have Progressive Airtail IAS shocks here? They seem like they could be a total solution to two up touring and aggressive solo riding.....I understand the RKC's are "lowered" compared to other FLH models, right? With hardley any air in the RKC shocks they ride hard and don't seem to have any rebound dampening.

If you have the cash then go with one of the air shock systems like Progressive, Legend, Arnott, etc. This should give you all you want and more.
