Cool Progressive shocks, whats the hold up?

I ordered some 430's for a 2011xlc from a local shop that orders from Drag Specialty. Its been on 3 months of back order from them, if not all distributor's. They are clueless to any production problems. Does anyone know of or in the same boat with Progressive products.

I ordered my 440s from Dennis Kirk and had them in 3 days with free shipping. This was 6 years ago though. One of if not the best thing I've installed on it. No, the PC III gets that nod.

Why don't you call or email Progressive and get the answer from the horses mouth?

Got my 970s in a couple days from a seller on eBay. Sounds like something fishy with your order. I'd cancel and order online.

When I ordered my 970's I was warned it could be a 4 week wait. Received them a week later from JCMotors

It sounds like you should take your business elsewhere, WTF?

Yeah contact Progressive and see if there is a shortage of 430's, if so you'll just have to wait, if not cancel your order and go elsewhere.

I have been waiting over 3 weeks for my 430's from Drag Specialties. Ordered through the local Harley dealer.

Thanks for the advice cHarley, wasn't thinking lol. Well I contacted Progressive and there an issue with their chroming process on that paticuler model that doesn't meet their standards. I asked for an ETA and at this time and they had none. I did search around looking to purchase on line and alot of sites had listed a backorder. Some did not but where willing to take your order, pay and make you wait. Guess I'll be waiting.
