Default progressive 970 install
installed 970's this weekend.so far they seem real good bike feels planted and stabil went from stock fxdx 13.5" to 12.5" length drawback was steering turned out very light.installed daytona steering damper to get a better feel.dialed in now feels great.nice to be able to adjust shock compression and steering damper on the fly to match road conditions.

If you're getting rid of a set of trackers I may take them depending on length and how they're set up
