    Has anyone fitted progressive suspension air shocks series 416 to a electra glide. I am considering this or using coil shocks, any feed back would be apreciated as I,m still running the oeiginals on my 91 model and they are getting very long in the tooth.

    Thanks hogbag I can say now I was bidding for a brand new pair on Ebay and ended up getting them this morning for $137 from the states.
    Thats what I figured the ease of adjustment with extra load would be usefull.

    sorry shipping isn,t on yet the guy is trying to give me a price.
    Wouldn,t be hard to be better than the ones on there now thats a 91 glide with the original shocks on.

    would you believe I fitted them three weeks ago but havn,t been out on the bike as the weathers been shit.
    Also my kids have been here from Perth for the last week so I have been doing other stuff.

    took it out today for a quick ride just around the suburbs.
    It made a big improvement but that wouldn,t be hard because of the state of the old shocks.
    Have to get it out in the country with the missus on the back for a better idea.

    I don't know if you're in Sydney HG, but I use Parramatta Road between Silverwater Road and James Ruse Drive as my shock testing area. Both directions. Really sorts 'em out. Doesn't say much for the state government, but that's common knowledge.
