Default Will I notice the diff between progressive 440 and ohlins shocks?
Will I notice a diff a lot if I switch out to ohlins shocks in the rear?

I had the 440s on my bike for a year and they were pretty good, but not good enough. The Ohlins are so much better in handling and ride comfort, there's no comparison.

That is an apples to oranges comparison. No comparison whatsoever. Check out the JRI's from MM too. You can see them on my ride.

I just ordered these JRI Shocks from Howard at Motorcycle Metal
I bought these instead because the are all handmade in the USA and every part is CNC machined.
Ohlins are all casted parts.....

I've ridden both the 440's and Ohlins, and the Ohlins take the ride to a whole different level.

I swapped my stockers for progressives. They felt even worse. I put on fxdx shocks and Loved them! Then I blew out the left shock. They cost more than öhlins or JRI. So I ordered JRI. I'm told they totally outperform the fxdx shocks. If that's true I need to get my front end dialed in ASAP. JRI's arrive Monday......
