Default Progressive 440?

http://www.progressivesuspension.com/hd/index.html

I see these adds about the Progressive 440 package that comes with free Fork Springs and I am just wondering if these are even good for an 09 Iron. Not that the Free Fork Springs interest me....I just kept seeing this ad pop up and was like " hmmm....I wonder if these are good ".


Anyway...anyone use em? They good? They worth it? Or are the RK rear shocks w/ lowering kit more worth it...


Oh and just an FYI: If I upgrade my suspension I want to stay at the stock height as much as possible...so If you guys say the 440's are good but in a 13.5 inch format...then no thank you. I want the stock Iron height and nothing higher. I'm not riding a mountain bike.


:-) Thanks.

I have their 440s on my 1200R as well as their fork springs. Big improvement. Use Screaming Eagle fork oil when you change the fork springs.

I run 13.5" 440 standards in the rear and Progressive springs in the front using BelRay 7w fork oil, I wouldn't change a thing. Well, I might choose 13" instead, they have slightly more travel than the 13.5s.

I run 13.5" Progressive shocks and Progressive Fork Springs with BelRay 7w oil. Great combo.
