Id love to purchase the shotgun shocks but is a little out of my price range right now. Whats a nice alternative? I want to drop my heritage 2001 a couple of inches and maintain a nice ride. I got around 500 bucks, thanks,Wayne

I just kept the original factory shocks and adjusted them for a ride that is comfortable for me... after all the feel of riding a motorcycle is what I enjoy most of all. If I wanted a Cadillac ride, I would have gotten a Cadillac.

For that price you can't go wrong with the Progressive 422. Had mine on for over a year now with 0 complaints. Maybe you could pick up a pair used from these guys going Shotgun.
