I am having my Progressive 944 springs reduced to the standard. I got them with the Heavy Duty springs. My wife and I are combined about 400 lbs. We compressed the shocks only one inch. That was pre-load set as soft as possible.
Me at 200 lbs, I found the shocks pretty darn stiff so back to progressive they went for a spring reduction. If you go Progressive 944 HD you should be happy.
Just my two cents.

They are the first product listed at this page, the chrome ones.

Ditto on Motorcycle Metal's Ohlins Shocks
From a ride standpoint, I don't think there's a better ride or deal than Ohlins from Howard at Motorcycle Metal. HIGHLY recommended.

Welcome to HDF from the UK. Two comments: 1. I also have Ohlins from HDF sponsor Motorcycle Metal - you won't get better! 2. There are lots of brands of shocks available, but not many of them cope well when riding 2-up, which is why so many of us have made the same recommendation!
