If I were you which I am not I would first figure out what my needs were then look on e bay, for a deal with shipping included in the price as I did and mine were $186.

What 'cHarly' said. They are the cheapest, but have a limited supply of Progressive 412's.
Also 'REALHOG.com. they have a much better supply of sizes,but cost a little more.On fork springs they are about the same price. I'm looking to buy 12" standard Progressive shocks, but Eastern performance dont have that size in stock right now.
Good luck...
Gary.

Here are 2 different pages for the Progressive shocks at Eastern:
http://www.easternperformance.com/in...d=0&page=2
and
http://www.easternperformance.com/in...d=0&page=1

11, 11.5, 12, 12.5 & 13" available.

Be sure to pay attention to whether the listing is designated HD or not. HD = Heavy duty

Got my Progressive 11" HDon ebay, they were slightly used, I paid $90 shipping included. Look on here as well, You'd be amazed at what you can find, I bought a Lepera Sorento seat for $140 and a detachable Backrest with everything included for $170, both including shipping.

Got a pair of Progressive just like thomasf59has posted in his picture.. I removed them from my recently purchased Sportster as I don't prefer the lower ride. They are not new but look near new and no problems with them. Includes the shims to fit the mounting studs on the Sportster. I took them off my 99 Sportster and I believe they were installed somewhere around 2006. Chrome top and lower springs and the spring itself is chrome.. Take a close look at the picture in thomasf59 post. The same shock. PM me if you would like to discuss further and buy.. Thanks.
