New Rear Shocks Installed
New Rear Shocks Installed
I have had Works and Progressive in the past and came across Terry Cable at Laughlin last weekend and liked his product, especially the "Made in America" and "Money Back" guarantee part. Bike was home in LA so I made arrangements, he honored his show price, to have them set up and installed at his shop in Hesperia today. I can only describe the ride home as nice and smooth, across the 138 and down the 14, not the best surface. Happy customer after the first 130 mi. Going to do some 2up next weekend. If your looking for a change in the rear suspension, he knows his stuff. You can google terrycable and get more info.
I am not affiliated with them in anyway, I personally get a lot of information from this forum and just wanted to let you all know of another option.

Question: Can you provide any more 'at length riding' review? Thanks.

I purchased a pair for my 2009 Ultra Classic about two years ago. At first they would chatter when I hit a series of seams or sharp bumps in the road. I called Terry and he had me send them back to him. He revalved them, and now they work as expected.
I dont have much to compare them with, but can say they work much better than the stock air shocks and would never return to those. My wife also noticed the improved ride. I do notice that the bike has improved control when being ridden at higher speeds and when taking corners.
With the stock air shocks I was never able to get them adjusted correctly, they would either bottom out constantly, or ride too stiff. With the Terry Cable shocks the bike doesnt bottom out as much and rides with more control.
So I recommend them, but dont know how they would compare to a set of Ohlins. They are Gas charged and sell for less than 700.00, so they are worth a look. Plus Terry is a super guy and the customer service is great

Any updated reviews, particularly 2up riding? Looking at a set of his Ultra Ride Shocks for Dyna's and possibly their fork kits for my front end.

Ordered Today
Ordered the Ultra Lows today; will install next week sometime and report in a couple weeks after a good long ride; or a couple shorter rides over a weekend.
I was quite impressed meeting Terry and his lovely wife at AZBW. We visited for quite a while about a number of things of mutual interest; and I was really taken with the engineering and thought that he has put into his design. He has quite a racing/design background and used what he learned there in designing the HD shocks.
If you're shockshopping (I was), don't make a decision until you call and visit with Terry. His product was one of the top three on my final list.
There are lots of choices in the market place, but he definitely fills a specific niche.
More after I test 'em.
