I've had them in my '12 Streetglide for about 10K miles. I think they are fantastic. JRI's in the rear and Pirelli Night Dragons complete my set up. Great ride and reassuring control. No bottoming, virtually no brake dive. I was expecting big improvements at speed, but wasn't expecting how much better low speed control and handling in situations like gravel driveways would be. Maybe $2000 for suspension upgrades seems like a lot but I get a payback every mile I ride. Some people put that in audio, some put that in chrome, for me handling was my priority.

Default Traxxon Suspension

Roy D, Thanks for the reply. I did rear shocks on my 012 Ultra. New JRI-B's from Howard and could not be happier.They are great shocks. I really know now had bad the front end truly is. I'm waiting to see how the new Ohlins drop in kit pans out with folks and how they like them. I know Traxxon makes top end suspension products and folks rave about them. Not cheap by any means. I was quoted $1.200 plus $ 200 in labor minus new bushing and seals around another $55. But it may be well worth that price to make the bike ride and handle they way I want it to.
