well had a good long ride today, and I gotta say, the difference is amazing, handled better in the cloverleafs, and on ramps, no jar breaking hits from the rear, seems like a different bike, couldn't be happier!!

I finally had the chance to ride yesterday and tested out the 940 series and let me tell you I rode on major roads, side street and even highways. Wow, what a difference these shocks make on continous bad bumpy roads and even the dips on a bridge at high speeds. I am very happy with Pregressive products both their "Drop-In Kit" and now the 940 series. I would recommend them to anyone here.

That's great you won't regret it. I don't how tall you are? But, I am 5'6" and 190 Lbs with 29" inseams and my feet are just flat footed on the ground. It is so much better walking the bike back to park and the ride is a lot smoother then before. I only changed the setting to a 1/4 of turn from the tight position.
I have the monotubes and am extremely happy, thinking about doing the 940's in the rear. There is also a lot of talk about the Ohlins, but for the price I'm thinking why fix what's not broke, maybe I will go with the progressive.

One question how is the clearance in the curves any problems with mufflers or other hard parts touching down? Thanks
How bout the front springs. Did you get them along with the rears for $469.00?

I also looked into the Ohlins, but I didn't want to invest in that kind of money for shocks. I already done that and been there with my last bike, when I purchased at $1000.00 the Arnott air shocks for the Vrod Night Special.

We just ordered 940's from Kustom Emporium as well. They claim a 1" drop from stock. Is that accurate. If so, any issues with kickstand lean angle? Is the 1" drop accurate? We would be putting them on a 2011 CVO RGU
Thanks in advance
