Some people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce. Love my Ohlins.

 

Did the shocks dump the air out? Did you have an air leak and the back end went soft? What part did the shocks play to have you say - they caused the crash? Please explain

 

Let me be the first to call BS! We are not getting the whole story here and I have a really hard time believing the shocks caused your crash. Bashing Ohlins shocks here on this site without ANY substantiating evidence is way out of line.

 

I agree - this is way out of line - but lets find out what brought on this conclusion. The person must believe this to be true - so perhaps asking a few more questions will reveal how they can claim to make such a broad statement.

 

No I did not mean to imply that the shocks went bad I have no problem with Ohlins shocks when set up properly...I carry alot of weight with all the leathers rain gear and when I went out for a ride I had just got done cleaning the bike out and detailing it (about 35+lbs) not even thinking about pre-load and rebound, so when I say it felt funny in the ***-end it was IMO because the bike was not set up for the lesser weight and I also had the shocks set up for the extra weight of my wife. So rider error yes I will agree that I did not take the time to change the setting...which was my point. It is not as easy to do as the HD air ride. So I may not invest in them again.

So to sum up a thought...If your not willing to make adjustments and understand your adjustments. HD maybe your preference.

 

Ohlins are not air shocks.

 

I don't mind you calling BS... Bashing Ohlins was not my intent or Howard please by all means buy the shocks...People should know they are not Plug and Play

 

I been on the fence of getting a set of ohlins for my SG. There are much better shock manufacturers out there that I wish made harley suspension. In 20 yrs of racing atv motorcross ohlins were by far my least favorite suspension wich makes me skeptical to try them on the hog

 

OK, stop playing with us! What brands of shocks would you like to see on Harleys that are not available at present?

 

I 100000% recommend the shocks if anyone is on a SG. The shorter shocks are horrible. The airborne feeling over humps, *** literally leaving the seat, and the spine jarring feeling on holes is completely gone now. I'm still in awe with how amazing the ride is with them.

I will say if you switch up lots of weight to stripped down solo I'd definitely save up and get the #3's. I think they're a bit easier/quicker to adjust.
