Added these shocks with the lift kit to my 22 Tri Glide Ultra and I love the ride. Forks are next....
Good deal, glad you are enjoying them. 👍😎👍
We appreciate your business.
I just installed the 13" shocks in my 2015 Tri Glide which also has the comfort lift already installed. The results were amazing! My trike truly glides now and it is fun to ride again. Even my wife is asking to go for rides when she did not before due to how harsh the ride was no matter what I did. I was going to also work on the front suspension but now I don't have to. All the issues I was having was due to the poor stock suspension. Worth every penny!
So glad you are loving the comfort of your new Shocks! It does make a world of difference! Thank you for your comment and business!
Just got mine today for my FLHTC. Installing them tomorrow
👍😎👍 I believe you are going to be very happy with the improvement in the ride!
Thank you for your business, it is appreciated.
I bought a pair for my 2016 Tri Glide. First thing I noticed was it didn’t kill my back going over the rail road tracks by my house. Took 2000 mile trip to WV riding through the mountain roads and gravel to get to our cabin. Big improvement over the stock shocks.
So glad you are liking your new Shocks! Thank you for your business and comment!
I’m going to go with new shocks and lift kit on my TriGlide this springtime. Told my friend Carl about you guys and he ordered the lift kit and loved it.
Man, thanks for referring your friend to us. We appreciate that.
These NEXGEN™ shocks are the bomb. The difference in ride quality is amazing. I believe you will be well pleased with them. 👍
I bought Super Shox for my 2020 Street Glide. Way better than stock Harley shocks.
Yes, the Super Shox are much better than stock. In our testing report, link below, they got a score of 75 out of 100.
www.dkcustomproducts.com/overview-of-performance-rear-shocks-98.htm
Recently bought a used 2014 Tri Glide, and I am pretty sure the cheap Amazon shocks that are on it, are somehow worse than stock. I'll be looking at getting a set of these and the lift in the next month or so.
I am sorry that the shocks you have are not providing you with a good ride. I am certain that you will be more than happy with ride quality and better handling of the NEXGEN™ Shocks and Comfort Lift.

I just clicked on the link to these shocks but couldn’t get my eyes off Miss Friday!
👍
I'm glad that those shocks are U.S., and not just assembled here, or with parts made somewhere else. I have 2 stock 2003 883 Sportsters, one with a wide glide triple tree. I have no idea what I should get. What can y'all tell me, to help me know which size and type to get? I don't want to lower my bike. I do want it to handle well, in the curves, but I don't want that weird look of an extremely high rear fender, with the top of the tire showing. I don't weigh a lot, but I want to be able to carry a lot or a passenger, without any issues.
Also, will y'all be making continued improvements, based on feedback, like the guy on the trike had?
Last question first....we just finished a 2 year R&D to get them the best we can. That is not to say that we are not constantly looking to improve, but it is going to be awhile before we go down that road.
Your Sportys either have 12" or 13" shocks. If you like the height you have now, measure them with a tape measure, center to center of the top and bottom shock bolts, and that is the length.
Then go to this link for the Sporty Shocks- www.dkcustomproducts.com/rear-shocks-c651-258.htm

very nice!
Thanks! Appreciate the comment. 👍
Now that you got the rear figured out what about doing the same for the front forks. I'm looking for a plusher ride from my CVO front end on my trike.
Here is a report on the front Suspension- www.dkcustomproducts.com/dk-custom-front-suspension-testing-report-part-i-of-ii-dk-fs-tst-rp-i.htm
The best option are the AK-20's, the next are the FST's and the best bang for the buck are springs and Intiminators. The data is in the report linked above.
Below is a link of a deep dive video into the Intiminators. This is what I am running on my Tri Glide. Previous Tri Glide I ran the AK-20's and they were great, but they are not 4 times better than the Intiminators, I am quite happy with them.
I ordered and installed your lift kit for my Trike and it improved the steering. I’m thinking about ordering these shocks and I believe they will be compatible with these shocks. Are they?
Yes, the 13" NexGen™ have the same 4" of travel as the 14" NexGen's, and the 13" will work well with your existing Comfort Lift. 👍

Do you gentlemen have anything in the works for front suspension upgrades?
Yes, we recently completed a New Comparison Report on our testing of Front Suspension Upgrades.
You can see the Report here- www.dkcustomproducts.com/dk-custom-front-suspension-testing-report-part-i-of-ii-dk-fs-tst-rp-i.htm

👍😎👍
I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say you found a way to build the intimidator shock system into a rear suspension
Yes, that is correct!
www.dkcustomproducts.com/rear-shocks-c651.htm
Good for you guys I hope you guys sell a ton of them things great products keep up the good work🎉
Thank you, appreciate the good words. 👍😎👍
I wish you guys would have discussed the differences between the Deluxe and the Premium shocks.
You may find the info on the differences at this link- www.dkcustomproducts.com/overview-of-performance-rear-shocks-95.htm
If not, what bike do you have and what two shocks are you specifically asking about?
I see you are probably asking for a Touring model, specifically about the 14" shocks that need a lowering block.
The valving is the biggest difference. The deluxe are very good shocks, some of the best prior to the NEXGEN™. But the NEXGEN™ 13" shocks have the same 4" of travel as the taller deluxe shocks, so no lowering block is needed, AND the IAS discussed in the video is a Major step forward in shock tech, delivering a much better ride quality.
More info on them at this link- www.dkcustomproducts.com/dk-custom-nexgentm-premium-rear-shocks-for-harley-davidson-baggers.htm
Do you make a Mono shock for the Sport Glide?
Not yet, but we have already started development. 👍
I was looking to install new shocks this winter. How do these compare to Wilbers LDC Nivomat?
We have not tested those, so cannot offer an opinion.
Thank you for looking at our parts. 👍

I have burly slammers on my chop, will you make a 10 inch?
We have no plans for that. It is not possible to get a good ride out of a 10 inch shock.
Thanks for checking. 👍
Are y’all developing a mono shock for soft tails? Just got my 636 in the mail with the external breather kit and it is slick. Had troubles finding a decent in lb torque wrench but harbor freight to the rescue 🙄.
Decent meaning 20 in lb and up the ones I was seeing started at 120 and went to 960. I don’t know about y’all but at that point I’m thinking ft lbs.
We may start working on a monoshock for the M8 Softails in 2024. Right now we are bttw on making the shocks we have already developed.
Thanks for your business, we appreciate it. I believe you are going to be very pleased with that 636v. 👍
Hey guys, several thoughts. Wondering if you did any testing that compares to the last time you did shocks, like go over that bridge bump and measure. Wouldn't it be advantageous to do that and then compare these new results to the old ones? Instead it seems you are basing results on personal "feel", which we all know is subjective. So I have your comfort lift on my "21 TriGlide with stock shocks, which I believe are 13" shocks, so if I upgrade I'd have to get the 13" ones? And if I wish the 14" shocks I'd have to get a different Comfort Lift? I heard you guys....... they have the same amount of travel (4"), but there's got to be some kind of advantage to having anther inch in a shock. Most, if not all, videos you do are top rate, with facts backing up your products with tests and even some third party verification (like your breather systems). If this was meant as just an introductory video, fine. But it didn't prove anything to me to go and buy these based on being better than what I have. Maybe something else is coming??
Ha!! Taking some of this back as I just found your comparison link. Must have missed that in the video.
Yes, this was just an introductory video. We will be doing a more technical video on these early 2023. We will also have a video showing bump recordings of various shocks.
Thanks for the comment and for your business. We appreciate it.
If it were me, I would use the Comfort Lift you now have and use the 13" NG Trike Series Shocks. Saves $ and time installing, AND gives 95% as good a ride improvement as going with the different lift and 14" shocks.
@@DKCustomProducts Good to hear on the technical video(s). I really liked the other video with those bump recordings on a graph. I'm also that guy who thinks "if I'm going to do something, why not go with the best and do it right the first time?". If I do anything, it'd be the 14's
I hear you. Glad you have found the videos useful/interesting. Thanks for the good words. 👍
One things for certain, there is always something better out there. My focus was simply to have a ride quality that my wife and I could go out and ride all day and not be beat up when we got home. I am of the older generation I’ve got low back problems as well as a bruised tailbone that requires me to get off the bike once in a while to relieve. we are on our third set of shocks including the stock garbage that comes on a new M8…. Buying the second set, a pair of progressive 444’s was a noticeable improvement, took those off and spent another grand on a set of Legend…. Doing that Swap over the last two years has cost me roughly $1600…. Not to mention the Legend Axio front end to the tune of $1600 again…. Needless to say I won’t be upgrading shocks again. This shit is bloody expensive. That being said, I love my Legend setup and have no reason to switch out (and if I did my wife would divorce me)
Yeah, it is crazy how expensive suspension can get. There are 50+ machined components in each of these shocks.
Important thing is to have a Comfortable, well handling, and safe ride quality.
👍😎👍
@@DKCustomProducts not to bash your new shocks in any way here…. But I have to say, Legend has made this Road King a total Cadillac for my old self and the issues I have, can’t imagine anything out there being any better.
@@jeffreyengle2762 That is exactly why we titled the video- ""The Best You Know is the Best You've had, Not necessarily the best".
Legends are Much better than stock, so your perspective is completely understandable.
@@DKCustomProducts I guess my point is, when does a person stop? When do you realize that you’ve spent enough money? I had no personal idea what it was gonna take for me to get this bike comfortable for us until I was about three years into it and my wife took detailed spreadsheets of all the money and items spent on my bike. To this date I think I am somewhere around $20,000 over what the bike originally cost….. none of these items were in my budget. I quickly realized that I had fallen in a pit. I wasn’t soon to get out of. I will say that I have learned enough to make my own UA-cam channel and a lot of content on it.🤣🤣🤣
@@jeffreyengle2762 I hear ya for sure.
Example: On my 2014 Tri Glide I had the AK-20's for my front suspension. Easily the best front suspension for a Harley. I really liked it too.
However, on my 2019 I made the choice to go with the intiminators and springs, which are 1/4 the cost of the AK-20's, but 60% as good as the AK-20's.
I asked myself if I wanted to spend that much extra $ to get a 40% improvement....if I was a younger, more aggressive rider, I probably would.
Priorities change, evolve, what is important to one is not to another. What was important 10 years ago, might not be anymore. What was Not important 20 years ago, may be very important now.
It's a question everyone has to answer.
Good discussion. 👍😎👍
How much do they cost and do you make them for Harley Davidson ultra 2011
Yes, for your 2011 Ultra, we have 12" with 3" of Travel and a 13" with a Huge 4" of Travel. You can see them at this link- www.dkcustomproducts.com/dk-custom-nexgentm-premium-rear-shocks-for-harley-davidson-baggers.htm
You can also see pricing and a Comparison Report at this link- www.dkcustomproducts.com/overview-of-performance-rear-shocks-95.htm
💪♥️ DK ♥️💪🇦🇺
👍😎👍
How are they compared to Wilbers?
Don't know. We've not tested those. Here is a report on what we have tested. www.dkcustomproducts.com/overview-of-performance-rear-shocks-95.htm
No way these are better than Ohlins. No way. I’d love to see an unbiased opinion test done
There are all kinds of Ohlins. These are better than the ones tested, as shown in the report at the link below. We are an authorized dealer for Ohlins, and if their sub $1000 Ohlins shocks were better, we would not have come out with these. There would be no reason to.
In the first quarter of 2023 we will be publishing objective bump recording graphs, showing some of the more popular shocks on the report.
Report Link- www.dkcustomproducts.com/overview-of-performance-rear-shocks-95.htm
Video of Bump Recording- ua-cam.com/video/Z4Dhg48_KQA/v-deo.html
(bump recorder is unbiased, not an opinion)
Are you guys going to make one for the soft tail models?
Yes Sir!!! in the works
I want a soft and plush ride on my new 2023 Road Glide Limited. Will these give me that?
Yes, you will be amazed how much more smooth. soft & plush the ride will be over stock. 👍
@@DKCustomProducts I don’t want to lower the ride. Should I get 13”?
You have 13" on there now, and they do not sag enough to give a good ride...they are too stiff, regardless of the setting.
With 13" NexGen™ they will sit a bit lower, because they have proper sag, which is needed to give a great ride quality. However, they will not sag (sit as low) as the RG Special, which has 12" shocks.
You could get either of the two linked below, which are both 13", and they will not sag as much as the NexGen™, and not give quite as good of a ride quality, but still Much Better than stock.

@@DKCustomProducts Thank you so much!!
@@ZevGriffin-s5u You're welcome, ride safe man!
I have 12"bitubos on one of my bikes would upgrading to these be worth the cost?I read your shock report n I'm guessing 20%better?.I have legends on my other bike n your test say the bitubos are better I'd have to disagree.id say the bitubos we're almost as good at a cheaper price.the legends weren't worth the extra cost but still a little better.dont the higher end progressives have the inertia in them like the 444s?I hear they pretty much suck.i guess I'm just curious if spending another 1k on shocks if I'll get my 1k worth over the bitubos.i ride it 2up a lot so confort is important
Good to hear you are happy with your Bitubo's. 👍😎👍
Everybody has different sensitivities on what they are looking for in suspension. When we tested the Revo-A's we were very disappointed. So much so that we thought the front and rear we got were defective and we got another set. Same results. But we were comparing 13" with 13".
The 444's have FST and shim valving. For whatever reason, the FST tech in the front works very nicely, but did not experience that in the rears.
Is it worth it to upgrade from the Bitubo's? What is worth it to one may not be to another. If I had Bitubo's and was happy with them, I would not spend another grand to get a 20% improvement. If I was going from Stock, I would spend the grand to get the best possible ride.
I have 12"shocks I'm short what's your take on running 13s w lowering blocks vs 12s for ride n handling?
@@fslade4444 Lots of folks do that. I have done that. There is no downside on handling for doing that.
You can do that with most shocks on most bikes.
However, you cannot do that on the 13" NexGen™ 13" shocks on a Touring model, because with the 4" of travel you can have rear tire clearance issues with the fender. You can run lowering blocks with the Sporty and Dyna with the 13" NexGen™, and you can run the 13" Twin Adjustable with any model, including the Touring.
Didn't hear Softail once. BOOOOoooooo.....LOL 😖 😁
They are in development. Probably will have them by mid 2023. 👍
I have a 2022 SgS and need shocks desperately.....how are these shocks I can't find any reviews on them and for the price point, I don't want to spend the money and then now like them. I have a ton of money into the bike to not want to ride it. are there any reviews. I have so many questions that need to be answered...
