Progressive 440s currently are available from 11" to 13.5 in half inch increments. I would assume that the wides would also be made in this range. Something for everybody.

That's real cute and mature of you Bill but don't bring other issues into this thread which have no bearing.

Updated 10-23-07

I bought some 12 inch Black Progressive 412's and put them on. Dropped the bike down really low. My wife can flat foot the bike, she's 5'3. I cranked the shocks up to one notch before the top, making them stiffer and I cant bottom the bike out by bouncing on it. I'm 175#, she's 115#. I think as long as she doesnt load this thing down with luggage, or passengers, bottoming out wont be an issue for her. These shocks seem to be really nice, lots of movement compared to the stiff stockers.

Thanks for all the help. (ps, I'm sure I'll be selling them in the next month or so, no miles on them of course....)
