2001 Sportster rear shocks?
Is (replacing) the rear stock shocks worth the time and money. Interested in first hand experience. This bike has 17k. Rides a bit like a lumber wagon. Have (not) tried adjusting theses to date. I suspect this might help a bit. Aftermarkets would look a bit weak on this Harley, yet if the ride improved I would not care.
B&T’s Smooth Ride shocks. Expensive shocks are not an option. These look great but you would never get the money out of these unless you kept the bike for 10 years.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Let me start by saying (Despite Lonebikers experience) Progressive is not a good shock, it is a well marketed shock.
My 1st choice is Works Performance, you’ll pay $350 or so ,but in my opinion it’s worth every cent.
If you aren’t willing to part with the cash ,well then adjust yours or replace the springs if needed ( $50-75).
check out their site and talk to them but buy from a local shop as you will pay full retail buying direct from Works.
