Ordered Progressive shocks.
#11
Put the progressive shocks on this morning.
The bike dropped 3/4 inch unladen on the stand, so it may well be 1 inch lower laden...I just don't have someone here to measure it.
My feat are now firmly on the ground...so that's what I was after.
I do not yet know what the handling/ride difference is as it is too crappy out to ride today.
I would have to think that these will be better than stock given that the Harley shocks that I took off are adjutable for siffness on only one side of the bike..
I am not sure how that is supposed to work well...

Those look like the same shocks that come on the SGS instead of air shocks .
It appears that the adjustable one also has a much bigger spring on it , I'd venture to guess that it takes the brunt of the load while the other side has more of a stabilizing role , probable cheaper to do it that way.

I stand corrected. Based on your picture I don't see how they could be linked. I guess my problem was I believed what I heard on the video demonstration at this link. Notice what he says at the 1:52 point in the video. I think I'm going to have to email him and ask him to explain his comment.
