New Shocks
This is officially the last of my mods for a while. My bank account is crying. lol. I got a screaming deal on the 11.5 Progressive 444s from Direct Cycle. They dropped my *** end down just enough to even out the raise I got from the 18" wheel and 200mm Avon combo. I like it because it actually looks lower than it is without giving up alot of shock travel.

Havent even had a chance to test them out yet. Got back from a ride and they were waiting at my front door so I figured I would throw them on real quick before my wife got home. lol. I'll give a review tomorrow. I like the looks of the 430s better but Direct sold me on the performance advantage of the 444s and for the price I just couldnt say no. Im glad too because I think 11s might have been too short.

Nice shocks! They compliment your bike. How is the ride?
Glad Direct Cycle Parts looked after you!
When I talked to Steve the other day, he mentioned you. They remember most of their customers and treat them well. I usually make 2 big orders from them every year and have no problems telling other riders about them.
My 11" 430's are on the way. Unfortunately it takes a little longer for things to get to me, but well worth the wait!
Did not want the wife to know about your addiction?

Oh, she's well aware of my addiction(s) lol. I work offshore so most of my purchases show up at the house while Im working. Im also in the process of building a 73 Bronco so she especially enjoys when old cast iron 4 speed transmissions and transfer cases get dropped off and she gets to drag them into the garage for me. Haha. But I figure its better to fly under her radar when I can so I dont have to listen to her talk ****. I'll give an honest review on the shocks after I get a some miles on them. I havent even had the chance to set sag or dial in the preload yet.
