Anyone try the progressive air dragger suspension out? The stock shocks on my 09 ultra seem to bottom out pretty easy with 2 up. Have tried several different air pressures.
ride mostly 1 up but take the wife enough that I want to be able to adjust easily.

 

'09's go up to 50 pounds pressure, and you still bottom out? Unless you are over the bikes weight limit that just isn't right.

 

On a recent trip we took, wife myself and all baggage came in 70 lbs under weight limits. ran 50 psi in the shocks. The "bottoming" was very noticable where the road and bridges joined. also noticed it at some of the dips in the interstate.
Want to upgrade to a better shock but keep the ease of air adjustability

 

I weigh about 190lbs and with 15 lbs in the shocks, I too have hit bottom at least 3-4 times, yet they say to run 10lbs in them.

 

Same problem with my 09 RK. There is no way I can get them adjusted properly. Either too soft and I bottom out or they are too hard and it ruins my kidneys driving over a crack in the road.
I spoke with the progressive guys at Rapid city this summer-I asked why they would spend money on a display for selling shocks. he said the air shocks are junk-on the new touring HDs. siad HD spent $4.00 per shock to have them made- I thought that was a compliment after putting 4000 miles on em.
Progressive has shocks for sale- from like $450- to $800. gee whiz.
I am gonna have to get something- the ride is terrible. just no amount of adjusting can make these air shocks ride properly.
