I have them in mine. They are a huge improvement over stock and well worth the money. I would like more control over them but they are so far from stock and only 350 or so bucks.
HogPro Wheels, a site sponsor here has/had them on sale.
Best price around and fast shipping.
I don't know if they're still on sale, but he was quick to respond to emails and PMs.
I'd start there..
Hello, another fan of pro-action here. I have over 10k miles on them and I ride solo and two up. Great shocks and yes I have tried many others. The performance and support from George and team is first class. I also have two riding buddies who are running them and they are also very pleased both solo and two up. Between us we have logged over 35k miles on them.
After trying a few different brand shocks I'm finally happy with Legend Revo-A's.
They actually perform to my expectation and I am usually very hard to please. These shocks ride smooth!
Streetrunner, can you elaborate on your impressions with the Revo's? Aren't you the guy that returned them? What's been happening since?
No, I returned Pro Action and Super Shocks. I still have the REvo-A's.
I have to be honest, although the Revo's have been the better of the bunch I will say, if I had to do it all over again I would stick with my 13" stock air shocks. There is not hundreds of dollars worth of improvement with any of these aftermarket shocks. They all have their downfalls.
When you read reviews on any site you have to know what the posters had prior to the upgrade. If they replaced 12" shocks then I would think there was a good amount of credibility with the review because the 12" make for a rough ride and are easy to bottom out. If they had 13"er's then I would be more skeptical and more apt to think it was more of a case that they wanted to believe they made a good decision and didn't waste their money.
Just my opinion from my first hand experiences.

I don't agree. I think that everyone has different expectations and conditions that they ride in. You also had the pro-actions before they made a change to the compression damping circuit. I do know that the aftermarkets do take some time to break in and you have to tweak them in. Knowing what the shock is doing and adjusting either the pre-load or damping accordingly goes a long way. If you talk to any of the manufacturers they will tell you that.
I ride 2-up a lot and I would defer the overall ride quality to the little lady whom will tell you how much more comfortable the ride is. If she is comfortable I am good with it. She didn't pay for them (or know what I paid for anything) she has no vested interest other than comfort. If you ride solo most of the time your mileage may vary.

I have to wonder if you would feel the same way if you bolted the air shocks back on. Sometimes when I hit a bad bump with my Ohlins and get a jolt, I have to remember that the occasional jolt is far superior to the constant hammering I received from the stock shocks.
