    Hi All,

    I have a new Low Rider and I'm finding it a bit harsh in the rear end. I knows there's many other options, probably cheaper as well, but I was wondering if anyone has tried the standard length of the Harley Premium Shocks?

    Thanks in advance

    When I had my 2009, Custom Sporty, I had IKON at Albury rear shocks made to suite Me. plus had them made 10mm taller. Could not believe the difference in ride & handling.

    Yeah im interested in them to. I want to get .5" longer so that I can't get the travel. The country roads are not so smooth any more. 

    The other ones I'm interested in are YSS.

    Thanks all, I just need something better than the stock ones. For a bike that costs $20K+ you would think that they could fit slightly better shocks on it, the cheapest Jap bikes at half the price have better units.

    I think it will be Ikon's I go for.

    Mate, I've got an old set of Ikons (Konis) on the back of my '79 Sporty that are probably due for an overhaul, but they are still a reasonably good shock.

     Have a mate that has a 2016 Wide Glide with standard shocks and his wife hates being a pillion due to the ride - he’s not happy either. They jumped on my ‘13 Fat Bob with Harley Premium Ride Shocks are we’re instantly sold. 
    I didn’t know any different as they were on my ride when I bought it. 
    Just today I decided to adjust the shocks in accordance with my weight even though I was very happy with the ride. Well what a difference- I never knew it could be better and it really is. 
    Invest is my opinion !!!!

    I will have a set for sale in a couple of weeks if you are interested from my Low Rider S. No longer required after upgrading to ohlins.

    I was very happy with the premium ride shocks, I just require a bit more ground clearance that's all. They are miles better than standard dyna shocks.
