Believe it or not it's not as bad as you would think. I can do about 50 or so and not have any issues,

It sure looks good ,,But,, 50 miles is only a third of a tank full at worst.. You say thats 'not as bad as you think' Its not bad , its terrible,,
If it starts to be uncomfortable at 50 miles, your in big trouble till the next stop....
But for around town it might be OK especially considering how good it look...

Perhaps the noise from the Progressive shocks while going over bumps is caused by them bottoming out? Check the preload, perhaps it's set too low (soft).
