Default PROGRESSIVE SHOCKS 430’s FOR 09 EGS

Greetings to all,

I am considering exchanging the shocks of my 09 EGS, for Progressives 430’s. Has anyone used these model shocks on their bikes? You feedback or recommendations would be appreciated.

Save up a little more and get real suspension, Penske

Ask Howard, a site sponsor, more about the Penske shocks. I had the Progressives and they were better than the stock shocks. But then I got the Penske's and they were much better than the Progressive 440's. The bike handled like a race bike in the corners and the ride was very smooth on the roads. They were definately worth the extra money and I would buy them again in a minute!
