Default Progressive!!

When are you going to get the 430's out to the dealers? I placed an order nearly a month ago and still nothing. First they were supposed to ship the first week of Feb, now its the end of Feb, according to onestopmoto.com, yet when I chatted with someone on your website I was told no one was waiting for 430's except a couple of orders from overseas and that onestop was totally wrong.

What's the scoop?

I did, talked to someone on their 'chat' line that pops up when you go to their site. Obviously the info I got from that person was totally different from what I got from the site I ordered them from.

I even went to the profile of the person here representing them and asked him basically the same thing. Just like here, no response, nothing, zilch.

Its just a question, but must be its no big deal to them. There are other manufacturers of shocks out there, and I'm thinking Progressive just don't give a rats *** whether they lose business or not. And they are about to lose mine.

They only occasionally post on HDF, so I suspect they don't call by very often.

Call the Tech Line and ask for Frank, he will give you the right info.

But there are a few retailers that show the 430 available to ship immediately.

Is Frank's last name Vanes?

I got a call from someone at Progressive after I had called the supplier I have my order in with. The supplier mentioned had told me that the expected delivery time has been pushed back another month to the end of March.

So later in the evening I get this call from the Progressive person giving me a bit more info on why this is happening. After listening and telling him I understood and I appreciated his call, at this point I want to get on with my project since this 'due date' is beginning to get into the riding season. So I feel like I am back to square one and am going to start considering getting another brand of shock. Actually I do not feel very confident in Progressive getting these shocks out anytime soon. I was told by the supplier he could get me something else, but the next shock setup he had that was at least comparable was like another $300.

Whattodo, whattodo.....
