Big Lew,

How does your passanger like the ride? I have the stock shocks on my 06 Ulta. My gal, weighs 130 and finds the ride jarring and harsh. Pot holes seem to be the worst. I am planning on ordering the Suspenson Technologies from HD Dude, but wanted to hear from a passangers perspective.

Thanks

Mark,
I was curious if you went with the suspension technology shocks?  If so, how does your bsr like the ride?

motor1, did you buy shocks yet?

No, been leaning towards Ohlin's, but haven't plunged yet.

I upgraded to the progressive 940's from stock 12" "Leaking Air" shocks.

They were a great improvement over stock shocks. (Truly, I really got

tired of checking air pressure everyday.)

Fast forward to now, I have Ohlin's 2-2's and they ARE a big improvement over

the Progressive 940's.

Rear end is prefect now. Now comes the front end work!  It never ends.

I have the Ohlins 159.  They are 13" with rebound adjustment and length adjustment.  With the length adjusted to it's shortest point they raise the back less than a 1/16, virtually unnoticeable. And I was very concerned about the ride height. The ride is far better than stock.  I have had Ohlins on my Ducatis and they transform the bike, I mean transform!  One thing I would consider, if you go between 2-up  and solo a lot and really want the settings perfect for both rides then you'll need to get comfortable with the idea of changing the preload.  Not a big deal but it could get tedious.  Good luck!
