Talking Progressive 430 shocks installed w/pics

Finally I am getting tired with my RK air shocks, give up!
Talked to buddy Gommee, knowing the 430 is gonna discontinue so I pulled the trigger. I am looking for something better than stock and reasonable price. More importantly, the contrast cut matches the rest of my bike.
Installation is as easy as any other shocks, the spring preload is adjusted by hands, no tools required. It's raining today, will test ride sometime tomorrow and write a review. A few pictures to share, will take some full bike pictures later.

Sweet, they look Great! Much better!
I can't wait for my new 11" chrome ones to arrive.
They have to be much better than my 11" 412 HD ones!

Those look great on your bike! They compliment that rear sprocket nicely. Im guessing you are going to want to work on the front suspension next if you havent already.

I forgot to mention, these are 12" same as stock, no plan on front suspension upgrade.

I believe he meant powdering the forks and triple trees black to match.

Nice jack by the way Alex.
