We got what you've been waiting for! First shipment already spoken for, but we're expecting more soon. It's best to get an order in now to reserve a set. For those who don't remember, when the 940's came out, the first batch Progressive released was bought up right away and they went on backorder again.

I have a set of 944 UT's on my 11 RGC, still getting to know them. The ones I have are the
4020's but there is a model with a change in springs to a lighter one, I'm 165 dressed, light load, tools gloves clothing change and other stuff, the lighter ones are the ,944UT-4002.
I will say that around town and local freeways, these are the best setup I have had on the back of any touring bikes have ever ridden. They sit as low as the HD Premium Ride Touring adjustable shocks., but as opposed to the HD Prem.s, there is a full 13" eye center to eye center so it seems to fill the hole better, just seems like the 944's have much better road feel while providing a plush feel until I push the bike and they firm up by magic!!!
Yeah I am sold on them, better, maybe one of the custom, built to fit the specific rider, specific bike, specific riding style, %'s of passenger, bigger loads and more. The cost was above my budget restraints for the custom built shocks. I didn't want to spend more than $500 when I started. My switch was broken on my Arnott Aldans, great for air springs, especially with the 11 way rebound adjustment. I spent nearly $1200 on them, another $400 for the HD Prem Ride Adj. (12") so my wife was amazed that I wanted to buy a forth set of rear shocks...I was amazed at the cost of the Progressive when I started putting prices for various Hyd shocks, the 944's were right there and the customs were well beyond that. All of them were cheaper than the Arnott's however... the only thing that worried me is that they might not be all that the Progressive web site says...
This should .have been the way I went the first time, better than I could've imagined!!
