Awesome! Review by Joe Sacca
New to riding a Trike and a bit surprised by the roughness of the ride when I recently purchased my 2006 "new" machine. I just had the Combo kit installed by my local HD dealer this past week and cannot say enough about how much better the ride is now. The ride went from being tossed around all over the road to a more manageable and pleasant ride. I strongly recommend this product! (Posted on 9/12/2023)

Major Difference Review by Pro Action Shocks
My first trike and I didn't notice it was this bumpy until I went down some bad roads in the city. I saw a you tube video by DK Customs about improving the ride on my trike. After I installed the shocks and comfort lift it made all the difference in the world. The ride quality was changed drastically for the better. Now the rigid sharp bumps are smooth and easy and the small bumps I don't even feel....especially manhole covers. I dreaded them and now it's almost non existent. The handling also improved 100%.

Cadillac Ride Review by Whiskey Bob
These things were easy to install and made a huge difference. It smoothed out the roads some but the cornering, wow! Turns like a top now. Handle and feel is way smoother. Used to require strength to get around turns but now I bet nearly all turns you could manage with just 2 fingers. Helping my back survive these long summer rides out west! Definitely a vast improvement! Glad I did it. (Posted on 6/16/2022)

Sorry I waited to do this! Review by ZooMan55
I've had two 2017 Freewheelers over the last three years. I totaled the first one when a guy turned left in front of me in an intersection, but I went& got a replacement as soon as I could. I really like the stying and the power of these trikes, but have never loved the ride. Until now!

This has made the whole experience complete now. It isn't terribly easy to adjust on the trike, but I ride alone 95% of the time and it is so much better than the leaky stock air shocks that Harley provided on the 2017.

As for the lift kit, I couldn't use the holes for the full rise due to the welds on the exhaust and had to use the alternate hole. So I don't think I got the full potential rise, however, the 14" shocks did make the biggest difference. I couldn't pull into my driveway without dragging the pipes on the street before I installed these shocks. I now have plenty of clearance. And the shocks no longer bottom out unless I can't avoid a massive chuckhole ( which in Ohio is tough to avoid in the spring). Overall, if i'd have bought this combo last year I would have saved some bucks, but it is still a great upgrade for my riding experiences. I highly recommend the combo. (Posted on 4/26/2022)

Should have done it sooner! Review by Darrell
Relatively easy install (2017 Tri Glide) using the directions provided. Online videos also help immensely. The difference in ride quality was immediate and absolutely way better than the stock shocks. We rode a 2000 mile touring rally after installing these and both my wife and I were thrilled with the ride. No longer a jackhammer working on my back. (Posted on 4/14/2022)

Handling Nirvana achieved!!! Review by HarrisBikeNut
Already reviewed the quality of the parts and the great service from DK Customs and have just got back from a 100 mile ride with my good lady. I can now say that this combination of parts has exceeded my hopes and expectations. Riding on some knarly Fen roads here in Lincolnshire, comfort is fantastic. Yes, we still got bumped around a little BUT hitting bumps and pot holes is now much more comfortable. Shock action is smoother, more refined and just SOOOOO much better. Even my good wife noticed the difference and was very impressed. What more is there to say?!?!?! (Posted on 1/1/2022)

WOW Review by Chris20fan
OMG, what a ride!! Installed these along with the comfort lift on my 2012 Triglide and it rides like a completely different bike. My wife was questioning why I needed to spend 1k on new shocks, she thought it already had a decent ride. 5 miles down the road on the new shocks she couldn’t believe the difference and said it was money well spent!!

Best route to Tri Glide handling Nirvana?????? Review by HarrisBikeNut
Since buying my 2018 Tri Glide, improving the harsh rear suspension was a priority for myself and my pillion. As I am UK based, finding a supplier of a pair of shocks was unsuccessful. I could obtain a pair of Ohlins but no information of how they work on a Tri Glide, Nitron had nothing that they had fitted to a Tri Glide before so were “reluctant” to help, Maxton would design and produce a pair but VERY expensive and a Harley custom shop that stocks Bitubo relayed a message that Bitubo would NOT supply despite DK having tested then etc!!!!
So in the end I went for the 14” combo package with comfort lifts. Delivery was fast, tracking perfect, items looked very high quality with clear, concise instructions for fitting. The actual fitting process was uneventful so now I am waiting fir the chance to get out and try them. If the feedback I gave read so far is accurate, I am not going to be disappointed! Thanks again DK Customs!!! (Posted on 12/15/2021)

AMAZING! Review by Mark T
I did a lot of research on new shocks and lift kits and bought the DK Customs combo. I bought my trike last year going from years of 2 wheels. The ride with stock Harley shocks was horrible. With the DK Customs kit the ride is nothing short of AMAZING! I don't feel the jarring bumps anymore. Just a smooth ride and much better steering. If you own a Harley Trike buy the kit. Its the best upgrade you can make on a trike! (Posted on 4/13/2021)

Ride Quality Review by MARK
Absolutely amazing. I put the 14" shocks with comfort lift on my 2017 Tri Glide with 15,000 miles. I wish I would have done this on day one.
The difference in the ride is unbelievable. So much smoother even on the big bumps. The Trike also handles corners so much better. It feels more like independent rear suspension. My wife loves the new ride also. No more bone jarring bumps. Best money I ever spent. (Posted on 4/5/2021)

Combo 14" shock kit Review by Dale
The 14" shocks are great compared to stock shocks. The ability to adjust dampening is a plus, you can tell the difference between each click adjustment.

14" shocks work just as well with stock shock brackets. With the lift brackets, lost 1/8 - 1/4" in rear height compared with the stock shock brackets.

I didn't notice any difference in ride quality, the shocks still worked better than stock (Posted on 2/7/2021)

Combo Package - 14" Harley Trike Series Shocks™ & Comfort Lift™ Pro-Action Review by Jason
I bought this kit for my 2020 FLHTCUTG Triglide Ultra because the stock shocks were horrible and very stiff...I put them on 15 November 2020 and took it for a ride and it was night and day compared to the stock shocks, turns were much easier and the kit took on the bumps like they were not even there. I then took my wife for a ride and she was very impressed with how much smoother the ride was.. I am very happy as of right now and will go on a much longer ride this weekend to make sure they are as good as the initial ride.. (Posted on 11/16/2020)

EXTREMELY HAPPY Review by TOHOG
I put a lot of KM on my Trike. 2018 with 73000km at present. I tried Air Shocks and lift kit and was not satisfied at all. Recently installed Pro-Action 14" shocks and lift kit to match. WOW, immediately noticed a significant improvement in COMFORT, HANDLING, and CONFIDENCE in overall handling! Kudos for another DK success. I have several of your products and have received prompt and pleasant responses to my questions.

great ride Review by danny81
This is a must for HARLEY TRIKE 2015, MUCH BETTER RIDE AND TAKES THE CURVES MUCH BETTER,MAKES IT A DIFERENT MACHINE,

I HAVE RACED MOTORCROSS ALL MY LIFE AND SUSPENSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE KEY TO SUCCESS AS IT IS ON THE TRIKE, YOU GOT TO HAVE IT,THE ONLY HARD PART OF INSTALLATION IS THE TOP BOLT, NOT THAT BAD ONCE YOU FIGURE IT OUT, TOOK ME ABOUT 3 HOURS.

IF I DID IT AGAIN I COULD CUT THAT TIME IN HALF, DK IS A GREAT COMPANY TO WORK WITH (Posted on 10/24/2020)

Great Ride / Fantastic Customer Service Review by Gene
I purchased my 2020 Tri Glide Ultra during Sept. 2019. After 1500 miles the stock shocks (SHOWA) were set to my satisfaction. I then added the DK Convertible Lift Kit which slightly improved riding comfort but greatly improved handling (less effort) - especially cornering & sharp turns. After an additional 4300 miles (5800 miles total) I installed the 14” ProAction Combo pkg. I felt a significant improvement in both comfort and improved cornering (less effort) - especially one lane ROUNDABOUTS. When installing each ProAction Shock, be certain BOTH the Rebound Damping Clicker Screw (bottom) & the Spring Adjustment Collar screw (Near top of the shock) can be accessed from wheel/tire side location.

Best Upgrade Possible Review by TerryTheTrollKiller
I’ve been familiar with DK Customs since I was the Admistrator of HDForums.com. They are a great company and so nice to work with. My trike is a 2018 and had the junk air shocks so the ride with these shocks and lift kit is night and day. Big bumps go from bone crunching to just a little bounce in the seat. Small highway bumps like tire grooves and virtually non existent now. This is by far the best upgrade on my bike so far. Gotta get back to mounting my oil filter relocation kit and oil cooler now. That review will come later. (Posted on 8/6/2020)

These shocks and comfort lift have taken away the feeling that my 2016 Triglide is trying to throw you off in the turns! Handles like a sports car and smoothes out the bumps. The smack over our local Railroad Crossing is gone; very smooth. BUY THEM! (Posted on 7/22/2020)

Harley Trike Comfort Shocks Review by Jim
I recently added a pair of Comfort Lift shock to my trike and the resulting smooth ride was like night and day when compared to the stock shocks. The shocks arrive in a few days and i was able to mount then in time for a 9 day run through the Black Hills of South Dakota.

My wife could not believe the soft ride over railroad tracks, poorly paved roads and gravel roads we traveled on. Great shocks! (Posted on 7/21/2020)

My 2017 Freewheeler was beating me up pretty badly with the stock rear suspension. The 14" Pro-Action shocks and DK Convertible Lift Kit have improved the ride more than I expected. For reference I am a solo rider. DK set the shocks up perfectly for my situation. (Posted on 7/15/2020)

Pro action shocks 14” lift Review by Roblou15
I have a 2017 tri glide. Did the 23” lift kit a year ago. Big difference. Just did the 14” pro action and 14” lift. Amazing difference in ride quality. Smooth. Bumps disappear. Better handling especially with the papa zoom front end rake kit. Riding is vertical comfortable took away all the road vibrations. I think this is really a must if you ride any distances (Posted on 7/9/2020)

Outstanding package Review by Gary
Had the prior lift kit for the trike. Needed better suspension. Due to some extrema notes from the wife. I purchased the combo kit and installed it. Have taken a few short rides, and 1 long hard ride. Love the set up. The wife said to say "Thank you, her back feels so much better." (Posted on 6/28/2020)

Who knew a Tri Glide could ride so well ... apparently DK Custom Products Review by fuzzywuzhe
Okay, so I have been wanting these for awhile, I've read the reviews and though this is for me.

A little birdie told me the stock was getting low and it was unknown when replacements would be available, so I pulled the trigger.

The interview process to allow them to set the shocks up for your conditions is detailed and apparently very effective.

The install was not difficult, but not all would be comfy doing this.

These are some high quality products and are very well researched. The combination of the 14" lift and the 14" shocks turn the tri glide's ride from marginal to exceptional.

The trike "feels" more stabile and the shifting of weight from side to side with this combo is seamless minimizing the feeling of being "pulled off the seat" by centrifugal force.

Cornering is much improved and steering appears to be easier. I gained about a 1/4" to 1/2" additional height over the normal comfort lift kit that was on my trike (also a DK product), which may account for the improved steering.

There is a down side ... I find myself "aiming" at the bumps with the rear wheels ... LOL ... this too will pass. ;-) (Posted on 5/12/2020)

I recently installed the Combo Package (Comfort Lift & 14" shocks) and let me tell you the difference in ride quality is tremendous. Kevin had the shocks set-up for me just right.

Great Product Review by Tim
Yesterday I took my first ride with these installed. What a difference!. Sure, it's still a solid rear axle and you are going to get moved around a bit still, but all those annoying, painful bumps to my tailbone are gone. As a plus, my riding range has now been extended by hundreds of miles. Well worth the price. (Posted on 3/5/2020)

Great Ride Review by Larry
These shocks are awesome. They totally changed the ride in my glide. I would highly recommend these shocks. I went on a ride with a trike and he had legend air ride shocks that he spent way more money on then I did with DK and his trike was rigid and no give at all on bumps. Sure glad I didn't go with legend as I was considering it. (Posted on 6/10/2019)
