rear shocks

To my fellow forum members,
How many miles should I get on my rear air shocks on my 2005 Road King Classic. We ride two up most of the time and so far have 30,000 miles on bike. Is it time to change them?????
Thanks Guys

RE: rear shocks

If they're not broke - leaking oil - bent - bleeding off pressure during a normal ride - Then Why Spend the $$$

RE: rear shocks

I thought the stock ones where garbage from day one and pitched them at 500 miles. Progressives work a lot better.
