I hope I am in the right place.  I am a new rider -- got my license three months ago and am on my second bike.  I bought a 2009 Yamaha 950 V-star cruiser.  Last year I had back surgery so I'm supposed to avoid pot holes and bumpy rides (I live in Minnesota and the roads are horrible).  I am interested in getting shock absorbers for my bike to smooth out the ride - I am looking for the smoothest ride possible.  Any recommendations?
