Works performance told me years ago that any factory shocks would be shot at 25 to 30k. They even expect you to service there shocks in that range. JM2C! I think all Harley shocks suck out of the box!
Interesting, took tha the name on the side of my original and set of lower shocks says Showa on them.  So much for American made!

The 940's are GREAT!!! No air to mess with and the bsr says they ride better than stock. You can get them on eBay for $469.

Ditto...Just installed 940's & new monotubes in front end. BIG Difference.

They probably say American Showa only because they are a Japanese company with a factory in Columbus Ohio.  Would not swear your shocks were made in the USA.

Unless it's changed recently, both the front and rear suspension is made by Showa for HD.  They make some good stuff, just not low bid HD stuff.

Been running that set up since March and really like it, much better than stock.

I'm a little confused about the 940's.   Are the the correct length for a 09 FLTRSE3?

940's are meant to lower the rear end 1 inch. I have also installed 940's and one inch shorter Mono tubes in the fornt end of my 10 SEUC, and love it.

They keep the stock ride height on the FLTRSE3.  The shocks are one inch lower stock, but the front suspension is not lower.
