Shocks for Tourers
I called Howard last week about rear shocks. I have had a couple of injuries this year because of the bad stock air shocks. They are so bad we have had to cut riding down to short trips. I gave Howard a blank check and said I want the best. I ride most of the time with my wife so I want her comfortable also. After answering Howard's questions he told me he was going to make me a set of Ohlins. I expected over a $1,000 but when he told me $750 I was shocked, no pun intended. Howard is about doing what is right not making a sale.

I switched to these and could not be happier after having stock Roadglide shocks then streetGlide air shock. They are adjustable and made to your specs.

Couldn't agree with you more...but the difference is that usually when you go into an automotive parts counter, you are buying something that you really NEED for the vehicle that you NEED.
When a Harley owner goes to the parts counter to get a gimcrack or geegaw for his toy, suddenly all the rules are out the window, and he NEEDS to buy that overpriced gimcrack or geegaw. He will then willingly and happily fork over the bux without complaint!
But oh! Paying for an upgraded part for his daily required commute or to trundle his family around? It's wah wah wah!
Tell me this ain't so, folks! LOL
