Progressive 422 Series Shocks

Anyone have them? How do you like them? Are they better than stock?
I am looking to change my shocks but dont want to spend the cash for an air-ride.
Your thoughts on these shocks would be helpful.
Thanks

I bought mine to lower my rocker 2" to get the full affects of the heartland kit I installed...can't really tell the differance between them and stock...as I said strictly changed them out for the cosmetics of the kit

Like Tom, I bought them in order to lower my bike and still have a decent ride.. If you're not planning to lower yours and are just looking for an upgrade to the stock shocks I'm not sure I would spend the money..

422s

i have put them on my 07 fxst and have aroud 18000 miles on them and there isnt enough of a difference from stock to spend the money but if your going to lower your bike then they are worth it.

I put them on my 01 softail standard, definite improvement in the ride and handling and especially noticeable when you ride two up. I’m about 220 lbs and have not lowered them.
