Progressive Suspension
« on: September 07, 2012, 09:32:31 PM »
Dropped the bike off tonight to get the New Progressive 944 rear shocks put on along with the mono tubes in the front. Will let all know what it's like when I pick her up Sunday. Took 6 weeks to get them. :orange: :orange: :orange:

You'll think you're riding a new bike with the monotubes
& 944's in the rear


The new?.... 444s & 944s were on back order.

Nice ride home today. The one inch lower made is so much better backing it into the garage and it didn't give up any ride comfort. Can't wait to get it out on some back roads to see how it changes the handling. As of now, well worth the money spent.

i found more of a difference in handling with the addition of the front monotubes.  The ride improved with the rears but not sure the rears are worth the money

Do the new bikes have this suspension?  If not I guess this is a good winter project. Where do I get them??

No the new H-D bikes don't have the improved suspension. Jim at Metal Dragon can help you improve your ride quality.
