Street Glide rear shocks
« on: September 29, 2015, 01:51:58 AM »
I am so annoyed with the 2015 Street Glides rear shocks, they are so hard I feel that one day they will put me off the road.
After talking with the Ohlins Guy here in Australia he offered to build up a set to suit my weight and riding style.
They are 1/2" longer with more travel and are adjustable.
Can't wait to fit them up and have a play.

Those look like HD159's, which I have on my bike.  I like the Ohlins! :2vrolijk_21:

Please keep us posted on your comfort level with the new shocks.  I couldn't agree with you more on the stock ones.  It doesn't matter how much you adjust them, it rides like a rock. Coming off of a Road Glide Ultra to the street glide was quite a shock for me. Long rides can get painful for sure .

Skycat,

I think you will like them a lot.  I have had a couple bikes with the factory HD premium low shocks, which are on your street glide, and my CVO King.

I have the Ohlin HD-159 on my 15 SERGU and really like them.  I like them enough more that the HD shocks will  be ordering a set for my King when money permits.  I will be going with the 13 for the king also like on the Ultra.  Thats and inch higher than the stock, but gives more lean angle and travel.
