I have a 2012 FLHXSE3 with added tour pak. The original suspension wasn't great but was an improvement over previous FLH suspensions. I wanted to improve the ride, so I did a lot of research on this forum and decided to give Howard at Motorcycle Metal a call (he is definitely a different cat)and talk about a set of Ohlin's. Howard had just started selling JRI shocks and pushed me in that direction. They were $900, which were just a little less than Ohlin's. The results were absolutely terrible. The ride was so stiff that you felt every bump and I tried every possible setting there was. I lodged a complaint with Howard, who did nothing but give me a JRI contact. JRI wanted me to send the shocks in for two months so they could analyze the problem. I told them that the problem is their springs are just way too stiff, that I just needed a new set of the correct springs and I really don't want my bike sitting for two months but they insisted.
I had also been reading on this forum that a lot of guys have added the DIY Monroe air shocks with great success. I got on ebay and bought a complete set for $245. I just got them installed over the weekend and the results are amazing. Great ride, easily adjustable, I'm happy and more importantly the wife is happy!! The Monroe air shocks with compressor works perfectly on a Streetglide. I mounted my compressor just in front of the battery above the coil and it fit perfectly.
I've got the JRI's for sale if anyone is interested but I doubt it.
