I have Progressive shocks and Monotubes

HD suspension s*cks

Anything is better than stock, but the Progressive shocks really improve the ride when you also upgrade the front.

when you have crap front suspension and good rear suspension, you are still going to have a crap. Trust me I found it out the hard wat

I did not put Progressives on my last two RGU because the air shocks were bad.
They were great. I did it to lower the bike One full inch but keep the travel.

Got one bike of each. Progressive is smoother.

Progressives are better than stock and Ohlins are better than Progressives.

I bought bike with progressive on front and back. Seems to be really hard compression when hitting bumps, while riding one. Am riding two tomorrow will let you know how it feels with two on.

just saying you have progressive shocks is like not distinguishing the difference between a VW and a Porche

Ok , stupid question here, I have progressive front and back. Adjusting the back you grab top and twist. But how to you know if you are making it stiffer or for lighter load?
