Progressive Air Dragger Rear Shocks on RK
Anyone riding with Progressive Air Dragger rear shocks?
The factory left rear shock on my RK classic leaked all the oil out on Sunday after a ride I've never seen anything like that.

I have them on my 09' Road King.
Went out on a ride this weekend and started with them slammed. Got through 75 miles and had some lower back fatigue. Stopped for a water break and raised them about 1".
Rode another 200 miles and felt great.
So far so good. At this point I would recommend them.
Let me know if you have specific questions.

Thanks for the info my other choice is the low profile shocks that fatboy4447 has installed.
Do either of you ride 2up or solo? My wife rides with me more when the weather is good.(got to keep her happy)

FYI,
I just put a brand new set of Ohlins HD540's up for sale in the classified section. They'll lower your ride 1-3/8" from a standard touring setup. If your looking for a quality ride and lowering your bike these shocks superior to most other options.
When I bought them I didn't realize they would lower my bike, which I'm not looking to do.

yeah i ride 2up with the ole lady every now and then...just cruising around town or on small trips ill probably leave them the way they are(it still handles good...i have bottomed out once with her on but i couldnt avoid the good size bump) but if i am going on a long trip i will probably just take the hand air pump and put a few more pounds of pressure in them.
