I figure as long as I am spending the money for new shocks, I should look into aftermarket as well as HD stuff. Who has used the Progressive shocks on their bagger? What model? How do you like them? Thanks in advance for any help on this.
I've run Progressive 440's on 3 different bikes, although they are a big improvement over the stockers I've recently switched to Works Street Trackers which IMHO are a definite cut above the Progressives.

I had the 440's on my 97 RK I am a bigger guy and had the heavy Duty version. I rode with them on the softest setting, which was stiff enough to jar the heck out of the 150lb mechanic when he test road the bike. But was great for me and 2 up.
