Yeah, sure thing. Keep telling yourself that and maybe you'll believe it. Ohlins, Ricors and High end Progressives are just as good and in many respect far superior to your whoop-de-do Hagons. You don't like 412's, spend some real money on quality suspension and you'll see the difference.

Hey, I'm willing to agree with you regarding "High end Progressives" but I wasn't talking about them, I was talking about 412s, like the other people were.

So need for the attitude.

Hey, no attitude at all, said with a smile. You said Hagons were the "best shocks made". I simply beg to differ

I don't think the progressives are bad shocks, even in the 412 series. The real problem is what people expect out of them. If someone says they put a set on and like the ride, then their expectations were most likely reasonable. If someone says the 412s suck, well then they were probably expecting a $600 dollar ride out of a $200 dollar shock. I just put a set of 412hd 11" on my wide glide and you don't hear me complaining. I knew what I was getting when I bought 'em.
