Just checking if anyone has had any experiance with the HD premium shocks that come stock on the 2010-2012 CVO Street Glide and, how they compare to the stock SG air shocks. Thinking about going with the new fork kit and standard height premium shock kit from the Mo Co.

 

HUGE improvement IMHO. (I have the 12"). I bet the 13" are absolutely awesome.

 

My next mod for sure. I've been using Ohlins on most of my bikes since 1999 but the bang for buck factor on these Moco suspension upgrades is too good to turn down at under $800. And at the end of the day ground clearance limitations will still keep my RK's cornering speeds lower than I'd like no matter how good my suspension is.

 

I guess I'm one of those people who would rather go with an after market company, I can't understand why if HD is capable of making a great shock, they won't put it on the bike to start. I'm running progressives which is way better than OEM.

 

For the same reason why Ford doesn't offer the $3495 SVT handling package on the Shelby 500GT standard. Just about all car/bike makers offer upgrade options and HD is no exception. And you can be sure they're not building them in-house. Probably Showa or another major suspension maker.

 

Same here - Progressive 440's and love 'em.

 

I discussed this with my dealer (who's pretty straight with me). He stated if you're going to upgrade, stay with Progressives. They are a far better product than the new HD premium shocks.

 

The Shelby comes with pretty darn good suspension standard; Harleys don't.

 

I had the 440 progressives and went to the cvo street glade premium and the difference is like night and day. The H/D premium have the best ride I have ever had on a bike. And I am not sure why some would prefer a aftermarket even if it MIGHT not be as good just because they were not standard

 

Seeing how the standard length premium shocks just got released last week, ask him when he had a chance to test them against progressives.
