Well I decided to change the ride from a bag of hammers to simply astonishing....First I ordered Progressive 430 (Standard) shocks and they were way to soft even after a adjusted the collar all the way down. These should be for 180 LB riders or less.
I live only 40 minutes from Dennis Kirk so I drove up and exchanged them for the Heavy Duty ones. Much better the (Fat Guy) shocks worked out better and I only had to adjust it to the 3rd setting to compensate for my 230 LB ***. Well worth the money !!! Combined with the spring seat this is a whole different bike. These are exactly the same length at 11".
Glad to hear that you found the right combo for you. Just curious, was there a reason that you didn't go with their 440 shock? I understand the 440 comes with a Lifetime Warranty.
I'm looking at the same shocks from DK but of course they are out...Want the HD ones also and the edge cut is perfect for the direction i'm going with.
