They are an aftermarket spring and suspension brand, Dutch IIRC and are widely available over here in Europe. You don't say why you are interested in them, but if you are looking to improve the ride of your forks I would recommend using single rate springs, matched to your weight. I have used Race Tech, who have a calculator on their website, so you can get the appropriate spring rate.

Hyperpro springs
Hi
Well I wanted info on them as im thinking about swapping out the rear springs on my bike. The price is good so I wanted more info on them to see if it would be good replacement for the stock shock springs?
Other wise id have to spend twice the money for Progressive suspension shocks.

Hyperpro make rear springs, also rear shocks. To be frank the weak spot with most Harley suspension is the damping, or lack of it, which cannot IMHO be improved by using aftermarket springs. If you want to improve the quality of your ride then install new shocks, don't waste your money on springs alone, that will be money you won't get back.
There are tons of threads on HDF, across the entire range of Harley models. A common theme is members trying out different brands of shock, sometimes spending a lot of time and money before they find nirvana. I suggest you visit the Dyna section and read through a few of the recent 'shocks' threads, to get a measure of the subject. There are plenty of options, but bear in mind that cheap shocks will only give you a cheap ride. If you really want a better ride, buy good shocks, you can always sell them separately if you change bikes.
