Good quality but the rides stiff as hell on all the ones I've installed , ended up selling mine. Be very specific about the load weight, and your riding habits when you talk to someone at progressive about which shock style for your bike. there's several choices and not all are equal in actual road use.

No kidding. I get free tuition to any state school (CA only) for my kid and it wood still kill me to pay for her, let alone pay for two.

Good on you for putting your kids first Tracy. It's amazing how many parents theses days can't figure out how to do that.

When I do shocks they will be Works shocks. Like Twist said about Progressive shock you have to be specific. No thanks on air shocks.
