Shocks

[1st SG2014]

Hello to all,
I'm coming from a 2005 Electra Glide to my 2019 SG and the first thing I noticed are the bumps! It's like going from a Cadillac to a tricycle. I know that I need to replace the rear shocks but I blew my wad on the bike and don't want to spend $800 on a pair of shocks. Has anyone used any of the "off brand" shocks and had good experience's with them?

Thanks and tomorrow is Thanksgiving so it you are reading this today, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Don't know what you're calling off brand but, Dennis Kirk has a set of Ohlïns on closeout right now.

Hey Buck,

Much obliged! I know that’s a great brand and a decent cost. Do you think 12” would make a difference? I’m seeing where a lot of others have gone to 13”. I have a tour pack and will be 2 up about 30%.

You're welcome. I also have a tour pak. With mine having low profile tires I went with 13" legends. Big difference after I got them adjusted properly. I'd say get the 13's and don't look back.

that’s a solid brand and a fair price.
