Hey Jerry! Yes I believe you will be satisfied with them. I had the progressive 440's on my SEEG. When I joined the site I had to wait about 6 months to get my banana. While I was waiting and living on this site, I was hearing all the add ons folks were putting on theirs so I was able to purchase a bunch of them and had them installed on my scooter before I got it. Was satisfied with all of them but as Don (twolanerider) said, it was kind of a shame I had no comparison before and after. I believe any shock you go with would be an approvement! God Bless ya buddy! :2vrolijk_21:

Oh Yah, do not hesitate to change out the OEM to Progressive, Bitubo, Ohlins, Works etc. they are 100% better than stock.

Have used Progressive and have Bitubos on the Geezerglide and have used Ohlins on my BMWs R1150 GSA and K1200GT.

Jr,

Not trying to jack your thread but can someone tell me if the 940's ride significantly better than OEM's? I'm considering new rear shocks for my 2011 and would appreciate any feedback.  Thanks in advance.


Jerry
I know the 940's were MUCH better than the 12" air shock that came on my 09 CVO road glide.  There is no comparison.

Almost ANYTHING is an improvement over the $10 shocks the bike comes with.  Modifying the suspension on a HD is the best money you'll ever spend on the bike.

It only took Firedood 8 years to be convinced... :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:  ;)

Never claimed to be a fast learner... matter fact my parents sent me to private school so the "short bus" wouldn't stop in front of their house. :P ::) :D :D

Has anyone went with the 2" lower Monotubes and the 940's?  Was wondering if there was any problems on a Street Glide.

I would never lower the front end of a HD 2", at least not on something I was planning on riding.  You'd have VERY little travel left, and it would ride like crap.  Not to mention that you'd have the front end 1" lower than the rear with the 940's, which is a bad idea from a handling standpoint.  And yes, you'd drag all kinds of chit on the pavement in turns, including your butt when the tires got levered off the ground by some hard part of the bike scraping the pavement.

Hello Gents,

New here on this forum but I have a little for you on this topic.
I am riding a 2012 FLTRXSE which is lower in the back from the factory.
I put Monotubes in last month but held off on the rears.(Thought the Premium Shocks would be worth keeping)
After speaking to the Progressive Tech on the phone, He confirmed that the stock height monotube will actually lower the bike between .75 - .90 inches due to thier SAG technology.<- his phrase not mine ;)
The shocks are the same height when measured before weight is applied. the lowered shock is actually 1" lower before weight is applied and then even lower with the weight of the bike and the rider.
It wasnt long before I put the 940's on to even the bike out.
I had put the same suspension on my StreetGlide and can tell you that trading in that bike for a CVO gave me no advantage in the suspention area.
I might have left the suspension alone if Harley had taken the initiative to put Halrey's Monotubes in but since I needed the Monotubes anyway, Progressive was the way to go.
Now I have my cadillac again...
