Road glide question
« on: August 21, 2013, 10:17:00 PM »

Hi all, I usually hang in he seeg section but I had a question about a rg. I talked to a friend tonite who just got a 2012serg and he told me it was stock with 1500 miles. We were talking and he said it had coil over shocks, did the 2012 Cvo old glide come from the factory with coil over shocks instead of the air shocks. I don't know much about Cvo glides and was just curious.. my seeg came with the crappy air ride which are now gone...
 Thanks

I think I've seen them for sale. Advertised as the "stock" cvo shocks off that bike. Can't be certain though.

Hand-Adjustable Rear Shocks,   Part Number: 54000008

Offers enhanced compression and rebound damping compared to the Original Equipment-style air adjustable shocks
Provides a controlled yet plush ride with less bottoming
Compression and rebound damping is split between the two shocks - compression on the right and rebound on the left
Design balances the load of each shock; stiff spring with rebound damping on the left and soft spring with compression damping on the right
Larger chambers (40mm diameter pistons & 14mm rods) allow these shocks to react more quickly to impacts - this keeps the tires tracking while minimizing harshness transmitted through the frame
Knob behind the left saddlebag allows the rider to conveniently modify the spring preload via a hydraulic adjuster
Available in Standard Ride Height and Low Ride Height versions

They are better than the air shocks but not all that great.
