Yesterday mounted thes hyd shocks without problems , adjusted 7 turns for the first ride today , result :
Very good ,
 My impression is that the rear end is faster in reaction when riding curves , seems to be more agile and has lost heavyness .
I think these hyd shocks are keeper .

I like the fact that I don't have to carry around the air pump any more when go for a long ride :bananarock: :)

You replaced the hydraulic shocks on your SESG with progressives without even giving the stock shocks a serious try?  :nixweiss: You may have wasted money on the progressives, IMO.  The SESG shocks are probably the best shocks I've seen the MoCo come out with.

Mine and several others on here came from the factory at 0 turns.  I put 7 on before I left the dealership and it was a great ride for me, but spongy and liked to bottom out on big bumps with me and my wife on.  I adjusted it for 12-13 (I lost count...doh!) turns and two up is perfect and we're on the heavy side.  It is a little stiff solo and I could adjust it, but I don't get to far without the old lady so I leave it at 12-13.  I love these shocks compared to the old air shocks on my dad's Road King Classic.

I'm 270 or so and she's about 175.  If she asks, I didn't tell you that.  She'd kill me deader than hell.

My wife is selling her stock SESG shocks.  They were taken off prior to delivery.  She needed the bike to be a little lower.
