Question Progressive shocks on ebay
Anybody tried these ebay shocks? Looks like a Progressive knock off thats close to half price. I need to replace my shocks but wanted to check with the group and see if anyone has used them.

Linkee no workee.
Welcome to the Forum from Colorado!
Those shocks, if they are what I'm thinking they are, won't be any better than the stockers.

Seeing where they're coming from I wouldn't trust them, honestly.
Save for the extra $125 for the real thing.
Just my opinion.

Wow, prices have really jumped!! Back in February, I bought a set of 422 w/RAP for about the price of the non-RAP 422s now.

Personally, without knowing the manufacturer, build quality, and other details, about these copies, I wouldn't risk it, and just bite the bullet and plunk down the coin for the real deal.

Cheers!

If you plan to do 2UP and or trips, I'd suggest going with the RAPS's, other then my Feuling Camchest kit, the front and rear Progressives were one of the best upgrades to my Heritage.

The Monotubes in the front transformed the ride. Wish I'd done them years ago.
