Default CVO VS. PROGRESSIVE 940 Which is Better ?

I am looking at 2 very good Rear shocks to lower my Ultra. Which one do you use and is it better then the other ? Which way better ? One is factory and the other a Top Brand name ? Anyone here have any experence with either? Thanks for your Help

I would recommend that you go with the 940's although they are a bit spendy. They help lower the bike, but you keep the extra travel. Pre Load was the only concern there for me. you may also notice a bit better tracking of the bike with the progressives over the stock or cvo air shocks.

The NEW CVO shocks are not Air Shocks , They adjust by a handle you turn ? I think they may have been only on the last 2 years in CVO's ? Thanks for the info on the Progressive's

I have no experience with the Progressives, but I did ride a CVO SG a couple months ago. Those shocks are awesome! Ride way better than my 12" OR 13" shocks!
