Pretty sure some have gotten the Progressive 440's. I've thought about getting some for my Street Glide, but my stock air-shocks are tolerable for now.

I also just installed the 440 progressive shocks on my 05 Ultra. Very nice ride and handling once you get them set!

Purchased from JP Cycles at a discount.

Pump air in your system and spray soapy water at the fittings. This should help you find the leak.
