Default Rear Shocks

What rear shocks is everyone running? I would like to go to a Coil over set up or a Arnott type of shock.

Thanks

I got my rear shocks shortened by Bitchin Baggers in Mesa, AZ. They work real well.

I'm using the Arnott and like them very well, the ride is probably the best of any I have had. Had the stock shocks, changed to Progressive 412s and did not care for either one. The thing I like best about the air system is that it is adjustable on the go for what ever load or ride you have going on. This system has been on my bike for over a year and still has no leaks....the fear of most. The thing about this is doing a good installation.

I'm gonna try the heavier oil in the stock shock and see how that goes. That is this weekends endeavor.

I run the Arnott air ride system. Fun to drive into a bike night and drop it. Ususally draws a crowd. Great ride both 1 or 2 up.

Best shock for actually riding the bike is Penske. Nothing compares unless you wish to draw crows dropping your bike at the bar. Penske can not do that. If you wish to ride it, want the absolutely best ride than you need Penske.
