Default Replacement Shocks
My original shocks are leaking on my 2016 TG. Any recommendations for replacements? Also curious about work effort involved in replacement. Is there a YouTube video? Thanks.

There are many.
I like Suspension Technologies the best as they are easy to make adjustments.

I really love my FOX Shox... Pricey but easy as 1 2 3 to adjust for different loads without removing anything. I went with 13" on my 2020 Streetglide

DK Customs a sponsor here offers the 14" Pro Action shocks.

They are what I will be getting when they are back in stock. Get the comfort lift with it for an even better ride. JMHO

I put DK Custom ProAction coil overs with lift on our '17 Tri. Much better ride and improved handling over the stock air shocks.

Here is a comparison Report LINK of popular shocks, with a comparison chart between them.

Depending on your and your passengers weight, you may be very pleased with the Twin Adjustable Shocks.

If your combined weight is more than 270, then you will get the best ride out of the Trike Series Shocks. The 14" length give some extra travel.


Here's a youtube video-

So I have to gain weight now?

What if you are just a mere 180 LBS. Should I lean towards the 14" shock or the 13"?

Agreed. I put a set of their 14” shocks on with the DK Comfort lift. They really improved the ride.
