Kudos to Progressive

Gotta give credit were credit is due to Progressive on there shocks... I replaced the stockers on my FB with the 812's a while back and then replaced the stockers on my wifes Fat Boy yesterday with the 422's... All I can say is wow!!!!! Finally got to fine tune mine today after getting some good weather to ride in, wish I would have made this change a long time ago. I know longer feel every little bump in the road, my wife is ecstatic about how much more comfortable she feels on her bike as she is a shorty and feels more comfortable riding her bike.......

Progressive does have top-notch products. Glad you, and your rear, are enjoying the suspension upgrade.

Quality suspension always makes a huge difference in the handling of any bike.

They are the same length as my stock ones, 12". I love the slammed look but I am not willing to give up handling and comfort, if I was I would have bought a hardtail, not a Dyna...

I have the 422 back and drop in's in the front and just left mi indy steve stone who makes 40 grand customs.he says he does not know why guys even lower bikes,if you ride 2 up even on weekends you are giving up looks for comfort..i am bringing mine back to stock hight and going with 20 weight oil front.that comes from a guy who has made customs for 30 years,the best thing about 422's is you can go up or down,and adjust the pre load
