Those RK shocks match the front fork boots perfectly. Pricey Progressive shocks, or some used RK's.....hmmmmmmm? I talked to my service guy about the RK's today, and his response was....."hell ya, that would be sick!"
Bolillo57...Did these bolt right up, or did you need to use some sort of spacers?

What is the advantage of the air shocks over the progressive shocks?
The progressives come in any length you want, in half inch steps.
When you want to add someone on the back, you just adjust them, or if you want to firm up the ride for some fast sport action, you don't need to find an air compressor, and don't have to worry about blow outs....
Seems like it might be a pain that the only way to adjust the ride is with an air pump...

Personally I don't mix shocks from one bike to another it's dangerous to do. I do modify shocks for a particular bike but not hang something off another bike to save a buck.
