Here is where I got mine. I think they are around $366.00 now.
http://www.easternperformance.com/


Here is the link to where I installed them.
The first set of pictures in the link below, I was still experimenting on how low I wanted the bike in the rear.

+1 on Eastern Performance. Install isn't too bad - getting to the shock bolts on the swingarm is tricky. I purchased the Snap-on tool adaptor called out in the manual and it made it much easier. Requires a bit some iteration to get it how you like - mine is set to the softest preload and it still rides firm.

My sig picture shows the 422's and you can check out my photo album.

I'm eyeballin' those 422's myself. I lowered mine a while back with the "no-name, no disassembly required" stud kit from J&P, and I'm pretty pleased with it. BUT, it rides like a rigid, and I'd like a little more "give" in the suspension. And I don't have the peso's for an air ride system.

Thats the way to go other than air ride. I have them and they do work good. I got mine at eastern last year.

Might sound like a dumb question but, these will lower a Crossbones right? I ask because it is lowered from the factory, but I'm not sure how much compared to other softails. I am guessing since guys are using them to lower Night Trains, that the Progressives will work

I got mine off of Ebay from usmotoman. Shipping was 2 weeks but he was cheaper than anybody else. Have also bought from American Classic http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-P...344658413QQptZ
They aren't too hard to install and the ride is pretty good.
