They are supposed to be the best. There is a lot of info the big HD forum. A guy named Howard from Motorcycle Metal lives and breathes Ohlins shocks, and gives forum members over there a nice discount, and his customer service is off the charts. I'll be ordering mine in a couple months, and they will replace my Progressive Suspension 940's.

Why are you going to change out the shocks; do you bottom out with your self  or you had 2 up or to harsh on the bumps.
I have '09 FLTRSE and looking for a go shock as well (to fit the bill of 70% 1 up & 30% 2 up).

 I have the Olhin 3-1's on my FLHRSE3 and from my ride's before I had my hip replaced they are amazing. The word that comes to mind is they glide over the bumps. Smoooth. And I haven't done anything to them yet and they get better with more miles and adjustments. Will report back when I get back on the bike

I bottom out on sharp, quick drop offs in the pavement, like potholes. It happens solo and 2 up. I think they don't have enough travel.
