Default Another 11 inch shocks post
I was at Shelton's Harley of Smithfield, NC tonight and noticed there was about 3 or 4 newbikes in their showroom with 11" Progressives already installed. Not cut down Harley shocks or some other Harley licensed shock, but actual 11" Prog's on new dyna's. Some dude had just bought a new wide glide with em on there. They even had the best looking stock sportster I've ever seen with some shorty prog's. Next thing you know dealers will start offering new bikes with the header pipes already wrapped

The local dealer here takes a few bikes and tricks them out each year . Progressives are great shocks , and I'd wager the dealer is selling them too

I'm assuming they'll include the cost of the shocks, installation labor, etc. in the price of the bike. Dealers make alot of money on accessories that they install.

What does being prejudiced have to do with your shock preference? Still, I think it's cool that you admitted it.

Yup they do....and they won't take off the parts that they've installed if you don't want them. So you either have to take it or wait for another bike to come in from the factory.
