Default Anyone running Progressive 940's?
I purchased a set of Progressive 412's 12.5" to upgrade my rear shocks on my 09 FLHT, but now I am starting to think that the 940's might be a better way to go. Anyone have experience with the 940's? Claim to lower the bike an inch but not sacrifice any shock travel distance to keep a nice plush ride.

Thanks!

Does your bike seem to sit pretty low now? Think you'll have any problems scrapping?
