progressive 440

 

Have you gotten the shocks back from Progressive yet? Don't be so sure the switch to the standard spring will cure your problem. Been there done that.

Progressive is the worst of the after market shocks. If your not going to spend the money on JRI or Ohlins then consider the 13" Harley Davidson Hand Adjustables.

 

Progressive shocks is far from being the worst shock on the market,opinions are like A-holes every body has one.

I don't expect to have my shocks back for a couple of weeks. I'm pretty sure going a bit softer will be just fine. It really matters how you ride. I'm an easy going rider now days. I just need the shocks to keep my wife from compacting her spine every time we hit a man hole cover.

 

Welcome from NoCal. You'll get all kinds of suggestions of what's the best. Do yourself a favor & do a google search. Now I'll tell you what I've run over the years, Works Performance Shocks. Good luck.

 

Is the money for the Ohlins worth it with the stock front forks??

 

yes , but you will want to do something to the front end sooner or later

 

Oh yes - absolutely no doubt whatever! If Mrs WDE rides along too she will be especially grateful for them. I suspect many of us, after fitting them, have come to realise two things: 1 Harleys really can be comfortable and ride well after all; 2 the forks need a helping hand as well. Regard them as phase 2 of your enhancement programme!
