Hi. I've been reading the forums for some time now. Just joined so I could post. Does anybody know if progressive 970s will interfere with saddlebags on a 2012 street bob. If so will any bags work with the 970s
Thanks

 

They'll get in the way, but you can turn them reverse so the resivoir is facing towards the front of the bike. Somone on this board has tried this out before, dont remember who.

 

We've not tried fitting the 970 Series with saddlebags on the Dynas, but n0code is correct in stating they can be run with the piggback at the bottom of the shock instead of the top. In fact, the version we build for the Triumph Thruxton is intended to run Piggyback down.

Hit us up if you need new stickers (They'll now be upsidedown).

~PS

 

As stated above, you can flip them, and they still work like a champ. My buddy had too on his Dyna, still looks ****.

 

i got the 970s. the bike bike rides and handles so much better

Progressive Suspension:

Is it possible for you all to make an 11" version of the 970? I would love to run those shocks on my bike but I like the lowered stance of the 412's I have now.

Thanks!

 

Something to consider when changing the stock shocks for after market. I've had 412 HD on my 02 FXD for a few years and tolerated the front fork "pogo". I just changed to the Progressive stock height springs and what a difference, the springs compliment the rear perfect. It's like a new front end on the bike.

 

Ditto... run them backwards (reservoir forward), not upside down. I have been running 970's for over a year... awesome shocks
