2 years ago put on the Progressive 940. As I understand the 944 is a latest version of it. Great shocks and got mine from Phat Performance at a discount, no tax or shipping. Hated the air shocks either the 12 or 13 "

I wouldn't trust that ad. I don't see how a shock can be suitable for a touring and a sportster.

That would be exactly what I am looking for. A lower ride height and no loss of ride comfort. I could go a little over 500.00 but not much.

Thanks for all the info guys!

I have decided on the Progressive 944. Progressive said the 944 will do exactly what I want lower ride height and a very much improved ride quality over stock.

The lowest price I have found so far is 538.99 from Direct Cycle Parts.

Just to be clear, 812's are the same exact low end 412's that Progressive sells, only with fancy covers. Though 412/812 shocks are better than stock, the ARE NOT 444 series or 944 series shocks. Not by a long shot.

Hands down best bang for the buck and WILL NOT bottom out ... and I have tried every shock company out there and they dont hold a candle to BB.

Fraction of the price and they are super awesome to work with.

Install a pingel 1" lowering kit and change the shock oil out to Belray 7W in your stock shocks.

Then you'll have $300to left for another mod!
