I had the 440's non Heavy Duty on a 850lb bike I weigh about 180 and it was a Great purchase for me. I like a stiff ride by my self for a sporting ride and with the wife It was a nice soft ride. Oh she weighs in under 140.

I've been running Progressive 440's for the last 4 years and they are definitely an improvement over stock. Now I've switched to Works Street Trackers and they are a clear cut above the Progressives.

I went with the 440's 12 1/2 Heavy duties and love them.&nbsp\\;
I'm 6' 5" and close to 300lbs so they work great for me but as mentioned, the first time you hear that "clunk" might freak you out a little until you know what caused it, at least it did for me.
