RE: Motorcycle Metal - Penske 8700 Shocks
Thanks for the quick response. Well hell then, what the sense of changing the shocks? I am not complaining of the ride I get now, but I thought if I can find something to get rid of the corner wobbles at a less price I will take it...

Used Progressive 440 HD 13" on of my 2006 Street Glide. I really like it and it has made a great difference. Got them on e-bay at the best price I could find.

RE: Motorcycle Metal - Penske 8700 Shocks
I have no wobbles with my '07 bagger . I did have on my '02 E-glide Classic , and installed new 440's, a True-Trak system, but the biggest improvement was probably the switch to Metzeler ME 880's front & back . I have considered another set of 440's for this bike, but was hoping for some feedback on something alittle less pricey ......?

I imagine if you have better stability in the rear I may not need to purchase the true track.

RE: Motorcycle Metal - Penske 8700 Shocks
Again........ I have no wobbles with my '07 bagger .---asking about shocks ! I had a True -Trac on my '02 and I would only "maybe " buy one again as a very last resort { pricey & really didn't solve much on the '02 } as stated above . The question was regarding rear shocks ........[sm=dontgetit.gif]
