Default Need someProgressive 422 pics

Anyone have pics with the Progressive 422's (Lowered and higher). I think thats they way I'm heading

1. How easy is it to adjust the height. Can it be done without a jack

2. It says 2" under stock, so would that be only 1" under stock on a deluxe

I have them. The ride is good. I don't know about the height adjustment. I put them on lowered almost all the way and never changed them. The pre-load is easy to adjust and I didn't lift to do that.

These are the 422 at the lowest setting.Actually a little beyond the lowest setting.It really needs to be raised up a little.Setting the preload is easy and does not need to be jacked up.The height adjustment is easy as well but it is a little more work.It is much easier to adjust the height when the bike is on a jack.It takes a lot of the weight off the shocks.Makes it easier to loosen the nuts that rest against the bushing cups.

Thanks, your bike looks sick. Almost makes me wish I went with that color scheme.

Anyone else have some pics or comments

Has anyone lowered a 2009 rocker c using the lowering kit bolts? Once lowering is done will kickstand need to be changed? Has anyone lowered this bike with any other method?
