Did not get many answers to my question in the tech dept, so maybe landing here in the chat will get some more opinions. I'm thinking about taking the progressive back shocks off they are set medium and still bottom out with about 130 lb passenger. I have the original air shocks that it came with, but noticed that the box they are in looks like some oil has leaked out maybe. How do you know if the shock has enough oil in it? I have always liked the air shock better and understand the progressive is for a bigger load, but most of the time its just me on my ultra. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

 

Do you have the solo or 2-up springs on your Progressives? If it is the solo, you might want to consider sending them back to Progressive so they can put the 2-up coils on them (my understanding is they do it free of charge). I took the air shocks off my SG and went w/the 944's for 2-up riding. I keep them at the soft setting, which is perfect for me (210 lbs). IF my wife comes out w/me, its a simple adjustment.

I don't think I would ever go back to my air shocks. But hey, that's just my opinion.
