Default Speaking of shocks

I've come to the conclusion that I need new shocks. I'm not looking to go lower I want better ride quality and handling. Not that I don't care what they look like, I really like the black "profile" air shocks and the fully covered Progressives in black.I even liked the Penske's I saw here the other day but I'll bet they're way expensive.Any input would be apreciated thanks.

If it was my bike, I'd use the Progressives.

Put Progreesive 412 HDs on mine and love them, also put Progrssive springs on the front - really positive difference in handling, though stiffer - which is fine with me.

Got mine at Motorcycle Accessories Online (www.mawonline.com) - their site is not the easiest to deal with but not the worst either, but good prices for the most part and reasonable shipping as they have 2 different locations. Customer service was very helpful when I decided to return my regular progressive shocks for HDs, though extra charge was a bit excessive for restocking IMO. But hey, it was my mistake, not theirs. Helps to know the part numbers first as there aren't always pics and exact fitment details. Worth checking every week as they run some great specials - got my Willie & Max bags real cheap from them with free shipping.
