Default anyone having problems with progressive shocks?

had a set of 412's on for 5000 miles and one blew out sat night. progressive won't return my e-mails since i told them it was 15 months ago i purchased them. first e-mail said they would refurbish the old one for 100 bucks (I wanted to laugh out loud) but i can buy them new for that. i live in pittsburgh so the bike is pretty much stored for 5-6 months so really i got less than 10 months out of them. I really hope they come through on a new shock. i'll keep u posted. vinny

I had the same thing happen to me, although I don't remember the time frame, I didn't have any problem getting a replacement. Hang in there hopefully they will come through. Keep us posted.

Spend a little extra money and get your shocks from Works Performance. I have had them on my last 2 bikes and have had no problems.

I have one of my progressive 412 11’”&nbsp\\; being rebuilt by Progressive. &nbsp\\;The shock was leaking fluid. So if you have them check the ground below the shock for fluid. There are people here that have had no problems with there Progressives. &nbsp\\;Next time I will spend my money on something better. Missing some prime riding here in SOCAL.

Here’s the info for warranty issues.
