What are the best 13" rear shocks for a 2006 Harley ultra Classic with Harley TLE sidecar. Mostly solo riding, sometimes have grandkids in the sidecar.

Gary...WELCOME to the Greatest Show On Earth, or any planet.

We have several members here that also ride H-D sidecar rigs, so they will be along shortly.

I would look at Progressive Suspension's website... https://www.progressivesuspension.com/products/harley

Wish I could give some experience Gary, but we've never owned an Electra Glide, just an '02 Sportster with a Texas Sidecar, on which the rear shocks definitely needed replacing at the 20 year mark.

It all depends on what you are after and looking for. What's on their now. The Sidecar along gives the bike a rougher ride as there no suspension on it.
