Progressive 422 shocks
I was going to get a air system for my Deuce but my wallet isa little thin. I thought the next best thing would be to go with a set of new shocks. The 422 seems like the way to go for adjustability, is there anyone here that has this shock???? Pros/cons....how does it affect the ride? Any info would be great!!!!
Thanks

I got these for xmas. I absolutely love them. Bike is lowed 1.5" and it rides better than stock. Don't get slammed on bigger bumps like before. A great purchase IMO. Got the from Phat Performance Products for $385 shipped.

$384.95 w/ Free shipping and a free T-shirt. Was the cheapest I found anywhere. Even $35 cheaper than American Classic Motors which is usually the cheapest.

RE: Progressive 422 shocks
Found the site by doing a google search...they have some great prices at that store. I have looked around quite a bit, you are correct, cheapest price i could find also.
My concern was to be able to lower my bikenot lose comfort, i ride alone 99.9% of the time, so an air system isnt the way to go for me.
Thanks for the info.

That's good to hear blueduece. I've been researching and from what I've heard the 422s are a good shock. I've ran into the Phat Performance website before and they have very competitive pricing on a lot of expensive products.

RE: Progressive 422 shocks
I pulled out the wallet this morning, Washington squinted because he hadn't seen the sun in so long, and ordered the 422s. Mine was lowered 1 1/2" with the bolts. The ride was just too firm and too close to getting slammedout of travel for me. I now regret, via 20/20 hindsight, not going straight to shocks or air. You may have noticed my posts over the last month about pothole encounter fracturing 2 vertebrae. Bolts were less $ for sure but if you hire labor out then gap closes significantly. Be assured I will post results of same day/load/road comparison. Still plan to keep it lowered 1 1/4-1 1/2" because of looks and my wee legs. Already have front down 1 1/2 with progressive springs. That was low parts $ and high labor $ since I had indy shop do it. Current users of 413/422 do you have results of tweaking preload settings you may have tried. I Usually ride alone at 195# , 5% or less 2 up, wife has her own Harley. I Like a soft ride...don't we all.....but sure want to avoid that sudden stoppage due to hitting the rubber stops hard. Should be installed/sorted out by early next week I will share my OPINIONS. John
