Default 422's are ON!

Just got back from Bergen County HD (yeah, yeah, I know...) where I had the Progressive 422's installed. Other than the ride height coming up a tad, the difference is amazing.

Like I said in other threads, I wasn't looking for a Cadillac/Air ride-type ride but something just a smidge better. And I got it. I have them at the softest (factory) setting and they ride great.

Yay.

Glad to hear they ride nice, was thinking about a set for the Crossbones. Looking at their site, says the ride hight is adjustable from Stock to 2 inches lower.

he posted it on the night train thread. I was just in the right place at the right time!! i jumped on the deal immediately and it was mine. He bought a shotgun.

He actually sold it to his friend and I bought it off his friend through him. Regardless.....i got it for cheapppp son

cool idead with the running light. I feel my blinkers are hard to see cuz there so small.

nice bike though. Like the pipes, mine are side shots.

nothing to do with the ride height..but that's a great looking bike, and (though this is probably dumb) the biggest thing that stuck out to me (looked great i mean) is the blacked out V&H logo on the pipes.. what did you use for that?
