RE: progressive suspension
I have the heavy duty ones. They're a major improvement. I have the front fork springs too but I'm not sure about those yet. I might have to cut the spacers a bit because they ride is a little stiff.

Give Rob at Robs Cycle Supplies a try.

I finally found a seller in the US that will look after me on prices and shipping at last.
Slight hiccup with one order but rectified asap and at no cost to me.

Does anyone out there run a 11.5" progressive shock, and how is the ride quality. Thanks.

It's a trade off.

I am going the other way, up an inch.
Need that bit extra for two up riding.

RE: progressive suspension
I've had 11" and have been running 11.5" std. duty at for the last 8k miles or so(HD were too stiff unless you 225+lbs.) and while I would say they're an improvement and feel pretty good they're not "plush". If you want plush then get 12.5" std. duty 412s as they run 75-120 rate springs and coupled with added travel the ride will be ultra smooth.

RE: progressive suspension
Progressive told me the 12" and up, will have the 75-120 rate spring on the standard duty. So thats what I got this winter for my 06 1200-C. Now I have to wait untill spring [ if it ever gets here ] to find out how it rides...
