Front and Rear air adjustable shocks
My 00 RK had both front and rear adjustable air shocks. My 06 SG does not. I figured it was just cause it was a lowered bike. Just looking on the HD site and see that not even the RG or RK have front air shocks. When did HD stop doing that?

Hey, what the hell did you do to your bike now??
Well, the reason I asked is cause my SG rides harsh..I attributed that to the lowered shocks. That said, my 00 RK rode a hell of a lot better than my SG!! But, like I said, I blame the lowering shocks on the shitty ride. 2 up on the RG was great...2 up on my SG, even with 20# of air in the bags is still hard.

Not sure why they droped the air front, other than it was a pain in the butt to service and the handle bars were the air tank, so you were limited to those that had the valve and special grips too, they rode about the same when set correctly. Glad they are gone.

Got no complaints about the ride on the Profile shocks....still I can't wait to rip 'em off and get the Draggin' Baggers system installed to see the difference in ride/handling. Will be a blast to slam it!

You will find the lower you go the worse the handling will get.
