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.

Don't have to worry about that with the new hydraulic adjustable shocks...they ride great....I really like them.

Now , after several miles on the new hyd-shocks , would you say that they are good enough and worth to get them ? About $540 from chicago harley dealer . Should i order them ?

Let me put it this way.  They are definitely good enough, IMO, that I won't be replacing them with any after market shocks.  Would I purchase them as an aftermarket shock.  I don't know, perhaps, but there are shocks out there that you might also want to consider.  Bitubos come to mind as one of them.  The HD SESG shocks are very good though. I'll definitely keep them on the SESG.

One thought, I have had a leak down of fluid on right side and of course nobody has them to replace with warranty yet.  I am traveling with my bike and will get the replacement ordered once I get back to Louisville. 

Someone else posted the same leak down problem in the SESG problems post.

Two reports (or is that the same person posting about a leak?) isn't a bad ratio for the amount of SESG that are on the road. 

I think the Progressive 440 shocks had a higher failure rate.  Great customer service though, if you have the receipt......they totally rebuilt mine and a number of other members here.

I think with the SESG hydraulic shocks, if one is leaking, you're probably just going to get a new shock.
