Great for my harley road glide
Replaced my flawless shocks with Monroe Max-Air MA785 and they do the job really good. Some modification is required. If you are a bit of a jack of all trades you ll figure it out. If not see a mechanics and your all set for a smooth ride

Good shocks but don't run with no air.
The ride wasn't bad, but from the day I put them in I had a leak. I thought it was in my plumbing somewhere but hadn't been able to track it down. The last time I was out the leak got progressively worse and I couldn't keep air in the shocks, they would bleed down in a few seconds. As it turns out, the weld for the upper mount has cracked/broken and peeled back the body causing a leak down in seconds. The shocks have under 500 miles on them. I called Monroe and there is no warranty on them apparently. I looked on Advance Autoparts website to price them locally and apparently they provide a 2 year warranty, so I will probably buy them local to replace this one since I can't warranty the ones purchased on Amazon. The other option that I will more likely go with is a Gabriel 49304 as the reviews I've read say they have better fit/finish and also a lifetime warranty and are only 12 bucks more. https://www.amazon.com/Gabriel-49304-Hijackers-Air-Shocks/dp/B001AMEEPO **EDIT** Upon receiving my Gabriel shocks, they were blown out and wouldn't hold the bike up with any sort of weight on it so I returned them and bought another set of monroes, I didn't like how the lines routed on the Gabriels. When I got the new set of monroes they leaked like the originals. I tried and tried to find a leak and couldn't find one. Finally one day I shut the fluorescent lights off in my shop when there was no traffic and just listened. I could hear a faint hiss I couldn't hear before. It wound up being the brand new Viair gauge leaking from day 1 internally. That being said I'm happy with the shocks and changing my rating to a 4, only because if you ride with no air in them they will crack the welds and because the sleeves are not perfectly round to get an aftermarket bushing into.

Shocks are junk
Only two of the four are good . Two of them have the bags leaking out of the box. Very disappointing. Do not buy the quality of these shocks are terrible.

Installed on 2005 Electra Glide Ultra Classic and ride is excellent!
Seriously, these ride much better than the stock air shocks on our 2005 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. Note that the stock bolts will not fit thru the eyelets on these shocks so I also installed a set of the Energy Suspension 9.9105G 4-Bar Bushings. These are a pita to install but worth the effort. When I ride solo, I set pressure to 60-65psi. I weigh 240lbs and 6'2". When 2-up with the Mrs. I set to 70-75psi and bumps are smooth. Now I need to fix crappy front end lol...

Great ride
I bought these for a 07 HD Electra Glide they work great when im by my self i let out a little air when me and the wife go for ride put a little more in BEST MOD EVER. Used a cheap air pump from Wal-mart and a tee with a 2 way value and a switch on the dash/Added this 2/6/2016 Have had these on the bike for awhile now only problem that i have had out of these is that the provided air lines leak alittle air over time wish they had compression fitting to help stop air leakage other then that add great ride quality.

Good purchase and was cheaper then the auto part stores.
This product worked great with my air ride on my Harley. I had to modify the top to fit the holes on the top into my motorcycle. Easy fit. Just had to drill to make hole larger.

Credo siano originali Monroe (gruppo Atena o) Li ho installati oggi su una Harley Road King del 97. L’impianto ad aria già era presente sulla mia moto quindi l’installazione è stato facile. L’unica cosa è che ho dovuto allargare il foro superiore e tagliare la boccola inferiore. Funzionano alla perfezione! È da notare che l’immagine che hanno usato su Amazon non è veritiero in quanto la valvola sta posizionato un po’ più in alto; inoltre sembra che il venditore ha sede in Turchia ma la merce viene spedito dagli Stati Uniti avvolto nella plastica bullonata senza scatola. Comunque è stato un ottimo acquisto e sono rimasto molto soddisfatto!

I have bought these once before, to give the back of my truck some more support for yard work. Got another set for my camping trailer for off road. Work awesome! I'd buy them again.
