I think almost all on this board have come to a consensus about stock air shocks especially lowered ones and especially the 09 versions (THEY SUCK!) Are the new 2010 hd adjustable any better? Some have installed Progressive 440's some go with Works shocks I have been reading and asking questions still not to sure what to buy?  Here's the deal I am 6'1 260lb + wife wont publish that  anyway yesterday preparing for a trip snapped on the tour pack and took a ride to town shopping with Bsr and bottomed out allot with 50 lb's in shocks nothing in trunk! bottom line need something better for the serg soon BSR said her back wouldn't take much more of that.  What would you buy if you were me? any feedback on the great shock debate would be helpful guys

I just installed the 400s and love them.  You are heavier them me, so maybe look at ordering them with the heavier springs if you go that route.

 I guess you mean the progressive 440's  good to know thanks for the reply

[up2nogood22]

Yep, my bad.  I sometimes forget to proof-read!

Anyone tried the 940's they have been out awhile now ? What ya think worth the money ?   

[up2nogood22]

There's a guy on HD Forums selling a pair of th3 940s.  Can;t remember why they weren't working out for him though.

Just got my 940's in the mail today, I will report back after a couple thousand miles.

Bananaman just put them on his nanner and I guess the test was the wifey said that out of all the money he
has spent on the bike that was the best thing Upgrade he did.. So I guess it's a good deal....

We just did the front forks last week-end and he has not had a chance to ride it to really tell, but he said
it rides like a whole other bike.....

Hope this helps.

Hey Mud I just put the ST's I got from Jim (HD DUde) on this forum. got the 13" and love them I'm on a 09 SERG and ride 2 up about 75% of the time with some gear. I'm 6'2" and 275. It was a good decision, but most anything would be better than the crap that came on it.

Lew! you're me only bigger and heavier! I can see where jim was going ,selling you the 13's but what does it handle like?  and the question any cvo'er would ask ..... uh whats it look like ? can you even notice .... was thinking i'd go with the 940s because of that extra inch that is hidden tiil full extension    

[mud man]

Ordered 940 progressives this morning,be here next week, am put'n em on and taking of on a 4000km trip should have lots to say after that. will update all you fine lads then

Mudman, how did the new shocks work out for you? Thanks

[mud man]

940s are horrible cranked to full preload and still bottoming out! stockers were better seriously.

[Joelgonia]

that aint good news !!!  Been reading your posts and curious -- No real problems here until I hit a bump 2-up.  Then 'course mama aint happy.

Bike seems to handle fine -- You guys think the swap to the 400's will improve the ride and smooth out the bumps?  Obviously the 940's didn't work for MudMan.  And, are you suggesting front and rear?
