Progressive get my Thumbs-up

Just put 412's on my rear end with fork springs and it really impacted the hanlding of the bike, especially 2-up.

Front end doesn't "skip" as much..

Great improvement for not too much $$..

Highly recommended .

My next mod, I probably do it in the winter. Can you tell me the major difference between the two beside the ride height? Thanks Alex

I did mine as soon as i raked the front end. wow what a difference, solo and 2 up. Rides smoother and less bounce than the original showa shocks..Mark..

RE: Progressive get my Thumbs-up

Hey Mark, I tried to PM you with this question but I didnt get thro.
How diff does your bike ride with that rake? I have rode a couple of choppers they didnt ride good for me but they were radically raked. Your bike looks really nice with that light rake on it, just wondering about the ride.
Also without being to nosey <hopefully> what did that cost you?

Thanks bro.
