The premium ride shocks are easy to set for different weights. Just a matter of loosening the left bag and tilting it out for clearance to twist the ****. I ride two up often and don't bottom out. I'm 260 and the wife is 135.

Thanks; that's good news! And I see you've got the FLHX, so you're talking the lower shocks, right?

I think the benefits of draining the stock air shocks and re-filling with heavier shock oil actually worked out better for me... certainly improved the ride and obviously much less expensive and cost effective.
If I feel it does not work out or remain effective with just the "oil change" then I will look into some specialized Ohlin tuned shocks next season.
It comes down to the old adage about you get what you pay for...I just did'nt feel the Progressive shocks were worth the cost, or made a substantial amount of change to the overall ride or "feel" or handling of the bike.
What oil did you use? This sounds like something I would like to try before shelling out a lot of $$ for new shocks.
