Ohlins S36E installed....
I have a 2007 street glide with 30,000 miles on the odometer. I tried different pressures in the rear air shocks and could never get what i thought was a decent ride. I know the street glides have a shorter shock but bumps and uneven pavement were becoming quite unbearable. The rear of the bike also seemed to move around in wide sweeping turns. I heard a couple of people on this site talking about their positive experiences with the Ohlins shocks. After doing some research, I ordered some Ohlins S36E shocks from Fuel Moto. Installation was a breeze and the shocks came setup for my weight and my bike. The new shocks were a direct replacement. I was even given instructions on how much preload to add when I road two up with my wife. These shocks are great! The bumps and uneven pavement are no longer a problem. The bike also tracks like it is on rails in those wide sweeping turns. I know this sounds strange but the more I ride the bike the better the shocks seem to work. I have nothing but praise for the Ohlin shocks. I only wish I had installed them sooner. My wife just had back surgery so I have not ridden two up yet but am confident they will meet my expectations for two up.Thank you Ohlins and Fuel Moto!!!!!!!!

I put Ohlins on my bike, (Not from FM), I'm kind of underwhelmed. It's better than stock but not by a lot. Maybe they are set up wrong. I feel like I'm riding a pogo stick on some pavement.
