has anyone changed from air ride to regular shocks on there road king ?

 

I did and am real happy with the results. I switched to progressive suspension 412 series heavy duty shocks. I called progressive and spoke with a sales/tech person. He asked me a bunch of questions like how much I weigh, how much my wife weighs do we ride 2 up often do we tour together with the bike loaded down etc. After that he suggested these shocks and they were not the most expensive ones.

 

what is the combined weight? and what size shocks

 

I switched, got mine from J & p, sorry don't remember which model number, but I love them, just never did like the ride I got with the air rides, and they would bleed down, I checked for leaks but in time they went down, also a friend of mines does the same thing.
Anyway like I said I love them.

Never any trouble with my air shocks.
Wife loves 'em when I pump 'em up for trips.
Why would you want too?

 

I went with the progressive 412 on my 06 EGC. and their great for heavy riders

 

Thanx for the info guys ,i believe im going to order a set and hope for the best

 

went with 11.5 440HD's and couldnt be happier

 

Because they are poor shocks compared to most aftermarket choices. I guess if you haven't switched you would not know the difference.
