Yes Me on a 98 Roadking
the rears were pissing oil all over the back wheel and were gonna cost a kin fortune to replace, so were replaced with the cheapest hagons in black.
you dont see em anyway under the panniers
stiffens up the back, a slightly harder ride,
but I`m happy wiv em.
nice and cheap alternative, and who wants to keep pissing about with all that air mullarkey anyway.

My original shocks were as OK as 40k+ miles allows. Winter project is 'handling' and I have fitted Fournales air shocks as replacements. Unlike the low pressures used on the originals these use relatively high pressures, around 10 bar, so need a suitable pump. But they allow for fine tuning and adjustment for passengers, heavy loads etc.

Bike is waiting its new tyres and wheel bearings (due at the weekend) so I have yet to ride it!

Im fitting the Glide Pro swingarm shaft and bushings on my RK and my shocks have down 45000 so im thinking of changing them will have a look at the Fournales
