i am a 155 pounds and i can not budge my shocks but my brother can and he is 250 are they good or do i have to get some new ones

155lbs @ 55 mph is alot more forces than 155lbs in the driveway. Dont want it too soft or it will bottom out. If your an aggressive ride you'll want the stiffer suspension. also the suspension can be adjusted to your weight and riding style. Just go see your mechanics.

Its the same shock as the 05, just adjustable.

I've put a set of progressive adjustables on a 05 chopper. It just makes it hard to get too the oil drain plug.

Pro - Let us know how you like the air ride come end of the season. I have been thinking about adding that myself but the local mechanic has been trying to talk me out of it (problems??).

In the early days they had a lot of problems with leaks. Just before I ordered my K-9 back in Nov 2006 I happened to pass by the factory, and one of the guys actually recommended I not get it until they had all the bugs worked out. It seems most of the leaks were with the guage system they used to install, not the core system itself. It appears they have it all corrected now.
