My Vote is for Ohlins shocks.

Ohlins 2-2A is what I have.

I have the same front setup as you, and the Progressive 944's on the back....25,000 miles later I'm still glad I got the 944's.
Good value, lifetime warranty, great product support and reasonably priced.

I sent some 13's to Bitchin Baggers and had them shortened to 12. Rides just the same as they did
for $175.

Have you done any ride comparisons to other brands? These are on my short list for upgrades.

Dealer here wants $695 for Super Shox standard model. For a $100 dollars more I'm gonna go with Pro Action......lifetime warranty and hands-on customer service. They have the attitude that if you buy their product, you buy them as well!
