 Some folks have tried using the air shocks that are stock on some Big Twin models as alternatives for their Sportster models. The satisfaction with this option varied quite a bit. As all changes in suspension are dependent on accounting for the specific model bike, the rider/​passenger weights & cargo weight, the idea is that air shocks can be adjusted for those factors. Some folks have tried using the air shocks that are stock on some Big Twin models as alternatives for their Sportster models.
