Default I’m done scraping in soft corners
I’ve been running burley slammers for 2 years and I’m finally sick of it. I can’t take the peg/exhaust drag anymore. It looks bad *** but I’m just over it. I’m not dropping $1,000 on new shocks either. I’ve heard progressives are garbage. Anyone have experience with Burley Stilettos or Hagons?

I don't get why everyone hates Progressive shocks. Can someone clearly articulate to me why their shocks are so much worse than Burly, Ohlins, Legend, etc.

I have a pair of Progressive 970 piggybacks and they have worked great for me.

i cant say if they are good or bad. I can say you’re the first person to tell me that they work great.

once again, I have no beef with progressives. I’m telling you what I’ve read and been told. I’m looking for suggestions, not brand bashing.
