96' in need of Rear shock...Help!!!!

[Avkeh]

Hi,

 

I have a 96 Tour Classic and I'm trying to find a better rear shock to save my girl's butt. What's a good replacement? Is there an air shock that would work? What other years or models are inter-changeable?

 

Thanks in advance!

only the '96-'01 standard royal stars has the mono-shock and is horizonal versus the 99-present venture and 05- up td is vertical. there is a company that makes a replacement, which most users says it better than oem. did you adjust the shock to it's heavier setting, you use the hooked spanner wrench in the tool pouch? it puts more tension on the shock.
