Default Progressive 490

https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/progressive-490-sport-shocks-for-harley-touring-2006-2018

anyone running these? 680 for these vs 975 for Legends REVO A, my brother has legends AXEO and REVO As in his bike, and while they’re a vast improvement over stock it didn’t make me say wow enough to drop 975 dollars on them. I have progressive springs in my forks with SE fork oil and really have no complaints about my fork but my stock shocks have got to go, they’re complete garbage. Thinking about going to a 13 inch shock while I’m at it. I was also looking at OHLINS on fuel Motos website. I can get the standard shocks for under 600 bucks, the adjustable black line is 850 and 700 for no the same shock without rebound adjustment. Is rebojnd adjustment something you really need? I rarely ride 2up. Looking for a sporty feel but am tired of my stock shocks beating the **** out of me. Thanks for the advice.

You need to shop around more if $975 is the best you’ve seen for the Revo-As. Most people I’ve seen put the Progressive shocks above stock but below everything else.

Stock < Progressive < Pro Action, Ohlins, Legend (not necessarily in that order)

Im thinking of putting fox shocks on my 19 road glide. I will most likely go with the 13 inch. I saw them on direct cycle parts for 699$.

I read Fox is getting out of the Harley shock business so I'm sure would still cover them on warranty issue but might be something to check into.
