Why are Harley Shocks SO Bad? It's in the Details

- Kevin talks to DJ of Pro-Action Suspension about how to get the most out of your rear shocks on your Harley. A short primer on shock valving and setting up the preload to get the best ride.
Why setting the spring softer (less preload) makes the ride feel stiffer.

Don't know what he's saying but im glad he took the time to explain it. Nice work!
I live 10 miles north of the Pro-Action guys. DJ explained it even better to me when I was getting mine installed. Front and rear. Outstanding product! Pricey, but it is the one improvement that my wife regularly comments her approval of. Highly recommend.
Thank you Kevin, love to see how things work. Uh-hum count was funny. lol
Informative video. Couldn't stop laughing at the uh-huh counter!
ROFL Glad you enjoyed!
Uh huh count is hilarious! I loved hearing every word of what sounded like black magic. Fascinating stuff, some of which I understood, some went in one ear, out the other, but I wouldn't change a thing. I wish I'd discoverd you before I did the full Progessive suspension upgrade I did on my bike already. While I like what they did for me and I'm not likely to change anything on it, I am thinking about another bike again...
Glad you like the video! I hope you are more than happy with the setup that you have got!

What's some might find confusing is.. it seems we are just jumping in the middle of a conversation, and not really sticking with a type of bike or model, at times it seems he was talking about dirt bike suspension, and short of time to get it all covered. Maybe you can schedule another on hand video (or have another video set to you) about their specific product for Harley (road bikes),
Yeah, he was talking a million miles a minute. lol
We have developed an even better shock, so we will not be doing another video with them.
We will have some other videos coming out on suspension.
In the meantime, here is one that is very clear and understandable- ua-cam.com/video/N1cUpgNJ7i8/v-deo.html
I’ve set my sag at 3/4 with me on it.Three clicks on each shock.I was making to big of changes. I really don’t know what to expect from these shocks. I was thinking plush but maybe I’m expecting to much.
On these shocks, sag is not that important of a factor in adjusting the shock for the best ride quality. The part in the video where we talk about the sag...right before that, using the bumper as a gauge is better. It is also in the written instructions that you can see at the following link. Also, make sure your clicker is on 3 clicks.

@@DKCustomProducts I finally talked with George the other morning while he was at a show and he set me straight.He really explains himself well.Much better ride after he gave me a starting point.Small adjustments from this point.
I have a 2011 883.
I way about 290.
What shock do you suggest?
Either the Twin Adjustable 13" shocks or the PA Street Series 13" shocks. They are both excellent and will provide a ride that is vastly improved over stock. At the very bottom, below, is a link to a Report. But the short of it is that they work equally well, but the TA are made in Italy and have a 2 year warranty, the PA are made in the USA and have a Lifetime warranty...but are $300 more than the TA shocks.

Many thanks!!!
Found this out with Harley stock shocks 2022 Tri Glide , to soft it’s a very bad ride.
Yeah, the "new" coil over shocks HD is using on the Trikes are junk. No way to get the sag adjusted correctly.
Great information
Thank you, good to read that you found it useful. 👍
I think I'll have to watch that one again..
Lots of good info packed into this short vid!
Interesting.....
I just want to know which ones to buy..... don't care about the "inner-workings"
You can look at this link- www.dkcustomproducts.com/rear-shocks-c651.htm Or, give us a call or email with what bike you have, the rider and passenger weights, and what type of ride you're looking for (plush, firm, aggressive, etc.) and we'll help you out. 662-252-8828 or Support@DKCustomProducts.com
a grand for 2 shocks people have too much $ rubes i will never get it
You aren't just paying for Shocks you are also paying for Lifetime warranty and support! With lifetime warranty it is the last pair of shock you will have to spend money on.
Thanks for commenting!
I didn’t understand what he was saying at all. I’m interested in trikes
Yep, I hear ya!
Didn't understand a word he said..lol..he lost me at 3 stages!!
Yep, he talks fast!!! lol
Guess it helps when you already have an idea how shocks work... Made sence to me.
@@lylegerling6607 yeah have to watch it again..lol
Huh? I was going to buy pro Action shocks - until I saw this. I ended up buying Legends instead.
"I bought your comfort lift shocks spring 2018 and I’m eternally grateful for your help to keep me riding after my 3rd back surgery.
I could never get my trike riding soft enough with the Legends shocks, hammock seat, and Goodyear comfort tread tires at 20#. With my tender back.
THE SHOCKS FROM YOU NAILED IT!!!" -Marlene F.
@FFL3801:
Your loss -- These shocks are amazing
He should have been prepared or done his homework first before speaking in front of the camera.
Not sure why you made this comment. DJ knows more about suspension than 99% of all folks riding Harley's and he did not stutter at all. He dumped a ton of good information in a very quick, New York style, few minutes.
This guy doesn’t have a clue on what he’s talking about, he’s literally just saying words
Listen again. Because one does not understand, does not mean what is being said is not useful.
