    Default ProAction shocks first ride

    200 miles this morning on newly installed 14" shocks w/comfort lift. Very nice improvement, small bumps aren't even noticed and big road imperfections and railroad tracks get absorbed without the sharp jarring you get from the air shocks. All in all I think they are set up from D&K very close to perfect, I want to try them out with luggage, I my have underestimated the luggage weight when I ordered them, so may have some minor tweaking to do. If you're on the fence about the ProAction shocks in my opinion they are worth every penny.

    Tell George Bill in OHIO says hello. He has been in the shock building for many years & has a great product. I had his 13" on the 2016 for over 45,000 When we bought the 2020 it was already planned to get the 14" plus front susp he has developed. LOVE IT.

    I did the upgrade month or so ago and let me tell you no more nose dives no more washing out on the down hill curves and the handling is so smooth. Old Shiney must think it is a Sports Trike now. LOL...

    Are these shock upgrades (front & rear) worth all that money for just a SOLO rider?

    Simply put, YES.

    I ride solo and love the shocks. I need to talk to my indy mechanic and see wat the front fork upgrade will cost installed.

    Shouldn't be too bad. My Dealer charged 408 for both frt & rear. Removed body to install rear. The stock susp has lines from adjuster to each shock,so to remove intact body needs to be removed. Otherwise you have to cut the lines if you dont remove the body. once lines are cut the stock susp is toast. This way maybe I can sell the stock shocks.

    What is worth something to one person is not to another. So you question is unique to you, and only you can answer it.

    Of course, it is a catch-22 to some degree, because you will not know until you have spend the $.

    To help, is the ride uncomfortable now? Do you feel sway or any instability in the curves? Basically, are you unhappy with the ride quality you have now? If so, how much is it worth to YOU to get improvement in the ride quality?

    The Twin Adjustable Shocks (see them at this LINK ) are a very good option. While not as nice as the Trike Series Shocks™, they are about half the cost, but deliver a VERY Significant improvement in the Ride Quality. Mary and I ran them on our Tri Glide for over 50K miles. And a solo rider, under 300 lbs, will get almost as good of a ride as from the TSS.

    For Front suspension, there are many options also, see report links below, but the rear needs more help than the front, and I always recommend doing one upgrade at a time so that you know which upgrade provided what improvement.

    Kurt, we are in the middle of testing some front suspension right now that you may be interested in. We should have all the results by this weekend.

    Also, it was a very easy install, we did not need to remove the inner or the outer fairing. It is something you can easily do in your garage.

    Hey Bill,

    Your Dealership/Tech misinformed you. We thought the same thing at first. But a minute of looking at it and we realized this is not the case.

    We have removed the stock shocks on the '19 &'20's three times now, with the body on, without cutting the lines. It takes less than a minute to pull the lines out. We also thought there might be some leakage of the fluid in the lines. Nope.

    You can see us doing it at the 2:45 mark in the video below-

    Kevin you have to remember Harley only goes by what the book says and we know it can be done without the body off, but harley says remove body, go figure, and as Posserider said it cost $408 for front and rear, I think that is a good price or at least it sounds like it.

    Absolutely ... I'm with Kurt ... these shocks and comfort lift are awesome ... just be as accurate as possible when answering the questions about your weight, what you carry ...etc ... will save you lots of time.

    Aside from maybe the Power Vision, best bang for the buck I've spent. A lot of the $$$ I've spent on the trike was for the trike ... and the Power Vision is that way to a great extent, but, it's also for you ... keeps the heat down ... the Pro Action shocks are all about YOU ... more comfort ... better handling and The WOW factor is immediate. Your B$tt and Back will thank you.

    Bill you got a heck of a deal to do both front and rear for that price. Good deal for you my friend.

    Well ,i am glad they removed the body .as they saw the "pan hard ?" rod was loose. Maybe ya can remove them w/o the body off. I would have thought loosening the lines would allow fluid to leak. I am sure he did what they thought was right. Just glad I didn't have to roll around on the floor this time. At 75 i am about done wrenching on bikes.. Have done all mine own for about 60 yrs.Time for a rest & younger guys doing it for me. I just want to ride now.

Have done all mine own for about 60 yrs.Time for a rest & younger guys doing it for me. I just want to ride now.
    I agree, that is a great price! Plus, on top of that identified the pan hard rod needing tightening. PLUS, a lot easier than doing it yourself!

    I was pointing out the Mis-information about the lines needing to be cut.

    For those who do their own work, best to not have them be mis-informed regarding what their options are.

    I would leave the lines on. When we removed the shocks we kept them upright....then we pulled the lines and adjuster out. They did not leak. Then we put it back together. I believe if the shocks are not kept upright they will probably leak.

    What surprised us was we were expecting the lines to leak but they didn't. Oh, and we put the adjuster to zero before we disconnected the lines from the shocks.

    When I disconnected the lines ... I pumped a little air in first ... then slowly bled them with the weight off the wheels ... no leaks. I found a pair of air fittings at a hardware store and screwed them in the holes where the air lines mount ... put them in the pro action box with the air lines.
