HELP! Super Shox vs. Ohlins for Harley Road Glide

[cpiccarr]

Any help for shocks would be appreciated.  2010 Road Glide need help bad. Tried Progressive 444 did not work for me and rider. Thanks

use the search , been discussed many many times

Either would be an improvement over the Progressives but I went with Ohlins.

Ohlins

Ohlin Blackline work very well for me (& I'm embarrassed to admit how many shocks I have bought/sold over the years LOL)

Super Shox sacrifices some travel with the internal separator piston, have no damping adjustments, and very limited spring options. Tried them, just ok solo and not good 2-up on our rough roads. Terry Cable shocks ride pretty darn good, I have those on 2 bikes and like them a lot. My main bike got ohlins and they're great. Having the adjustment capabilities and being able to get the correct springs for the weight makes them better.

I tried the TerryCable shocks because of the 90 day guarantee about 7-8 years ago still running them

John,
Those Öhlins you sold me changed the whole experience on my Road Glide. Thanks again!

Ohlins are the 3rd and FINAL set of rear shocks on my Ultra.

Ohlins was the way to go for me. Tried Progressive and Works - wasn't happy. You sorta get what you pay for, you know.

Ohlins are great and I went with 3 inch travel on my Street Glide.  if you are riding 2 up it's critical to make sure you get the preload set correct so you get the travel you are paying for and you don't continually bottom out.

Those are totally awesome shocks, I just needed a shorter set to lower the bike some.

Glad they worked out for you.

Super Shox didn't work for me, so I went back to the HD Premiums. Unless someone can convince me there's a better option, I'll stick with the premiums.

I run Ohlin 3-3s on my bike.
Got them for the old 2011 RGU from Howard at Motorcycle Metal and put 30,000+ miles on them. When I bought the 2018 CVO removed the Ohlins from the old bike and sent them back to Howard to be rebuilt. Now they sit on the back of the CVO and Momma is happy!

I bought a set of 13" Legend Revo-A's for my Ultra about a year and a half ago. They ride fantastic and I would buy them again!

Looks like I'm a Lone Ranger here with the Legend shocks, but I love them. 

Sorry just noticed this is a super shox vs Ohlins.

I could have saved a bunch of money had I bought the Ohlins to begin with. Went from stock to Progressive, to JRI, before finally buying Ohlins. Save yourself some coin and buy Ohlins from the start

They do't ride as good as my Ohlins (I have owned both)
