RE: 11" Progressive shocks
They changed something in 2006, but I'm willing to bet it's something minor....lots of times they'll say something won't fit, but many times it's only because of an extrra hole or a different stud, etc.

RE: 11" Progressive shocks
Although there have been a couple of times I readjusted my parking position, I really don't think it's a factor you should be worried about unless you find yourself in hilly terrain.

See pic below
1 5/8 inch clearance bike jsut sitting
with me at 230 lbs, I have 7/8 inch of fender clearance through the 2-up seat mounting hole!
412 Heavy duty's from Jireh cycles, delivered at 200 bucks!
Either need a shorted jiffy stand ar have your existing jiffy stand tweaked a little in a hydralic bender.
I never bottom out. Shock come from the factory at the middle adjustment. 2-up, yea, it'll bottom out I'm sure, unless you crank them all the way down.

RE: 11" Progressive shocks
i'm pretty happy with mine. i do also think they are loosening up a little.
but if your looking for a BETTER ride two-up, an 11in probably wasn't the way to go. just for one up, going to an 11in is more stiff, two up your gonna have to dial it up pretty stiff and it is already stiff caust it's so much shorter than stock.
