good luck on getting a SESG off his buike to let you test ride it....lol

I put the 300mm (11.8")Bitubo's on my 10 SESG 2 weeks ago. It took awhile to get them tweeked in. But once I got them adjusted right, I think they are much better than the stock ones. Much more responsive when you get aggressive and don't slam you on the rebound. I do mostly 2 up riding and I found that I had to adjust the preload on the stock shocks more to keep from bottoming out, which gave a very stiff ride. The Bitubo's have three adjustments (preload, compression & rebound) You can tweek them the way you like to ride instead of just preload. $699.95 (CVO discount) plus freight

Yes, there's only one pre load.

I'm very happy with the ride.  I to have an 04 SEEG and rode it stock for quite awhile before I switched to the Progressive 440 HD.  I think these shocks are better.....more sure footed reaction in the twisties under power or in braking allows me to be a lot more aggressive in the twisties than I could on my SEEG.

I've also owned three Ultra Classics and always thought those shocks were to mushy and to much play in them (even with them pumped up) and just to unpredictable in the back mountain roads (we have a lot of them here in Nor Cal) especially riding two up or loaded.  Just my .02 worth.

I agree with JCZ regarding aggressive riding through the twisties. I love the way this bike handles the Ozark Mt. curves, however, riding two up is fairly stiff. Purely from a comfort standpoint, the 13" stock on the Ultra's are hard to beat.

2Eagles, the SG shocks are 12"? so the ultra is 13" The knob there on the left preloads the shock? is there just one?

Trey

there's just one knob, on the left side, and you have to take the bag off, or at least leaned away from the bike, to adjust.  One shock is damping and the other is rebound.  They do ride a little stiffer than the air shocks on my SEUC, but I like the firm ride.

Would these hyd shocks from the 2010 SESG do work and fit at a 2009 SERG or do they have a different swingarm ?
(based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and a new swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders and today’s more-powerful engines.)
Do anybody have a hd-number for these hyd-shocks ?

54674-10  LH shock
54675-10  RH shock

$404 and $227 respectively, so a complete set would be about $631 MSRP.  Hmmm, that's up in the neighborhood of some of the better aftermarket stuff, like a set of custom built Works Performance units.

I didn't buy them, I just looked them up on the Surdyke H-D web site.  Surdyke is one of the 20% discount dealerships, and I keep a link to their part lookup on my computer.  Go here and put in a number, it will give you their discounted price as well as the original price.

I would not think stock shocks will be as good as any after market shock. Check out post on here seems to be a lot of people are going to a shock called Works and they offer different lengths. I'm going to look into them as the air shocks on my 07 SERK Suck, The air pressure seems to go down on a long ride and i am always having to check the air pressure, gets old.
