DK Customs NexGen Rear Shocks
« on: February 09, 2024, 09:14:08 PM »

Just looking for opinions on DK Custom's new NexGen rear shocks. They look interesting. I have a 2019 CVO StreetGlide, and I'm thinking the 13" may be the better way to go. I like the stance of the 12" stock rear shocks, but the ride is brutal, no matter how I adjust them. I often ride with a passenger with a quick release tour pack on, and do a fair amount of longer rides.

I had them on my 2020 Tri-Glide and they were a huge improvement over the stock suspension.  I think they'd be even better on a two wheeler.  Give them a call and they'll get yo set up.

Supershox has a solution for more shock travel without changing ride height.

As do most of the aftermarket suspensions.

Sorry for dragging you back to an old thread, but this is the only one I can find referencing the nexGEN shocks.
I’m hoping to get some newer feedback on the 13” . I’m looking for new shocks for my 2018 FLHTKSE.  I just can’t stand The original shocks any longer.   

I currently have 13 inch stock.   My understanding is the NEXGEN 13 inch are 4 inch travel.  The statement above implies there are many brands with 4 inch or above travel.  Could you please share with me brand and model of those shocks?

I checked with Brian (as suggested) at SuperShox and their top of the line  RR platinum only has 3.5 inch travel?  But with 1” sag it lowers the bike ride hieght by 1 inch which I don’t want.. 

Wilbers seem to be the top of the line, with a constant ride height but I can’t afford them. 3” travel as I can find in research

Olin’s through some custom shops have a 4 inch travel shock, but to get there they make modifications that may not be suitable for all riding styles. I want / need plush ride due to crash injury.

what other brands/ models are there out there with 4” travel?

Thanks for any advice/info you can offer
Dave
