Default Anybody running Progressive 416 Shocks?

I'd like to hear from anyone running the 12" 416 Air Shocks? How do they ride? How do they compare to the harley 12" shocks. I want to lower my road king classic but I'm thinking that the harley low profile shockswill make the ride too stiff.

Don't go with the HD low-profile (12") shocks, trust me. They're fine 'til you hit a bump, and you may come sailing off the seat when you do--really harsh on anything except small bumps. I'm about to upgrade them on my SG, and am looking into Progressive 440's, either 12" or 12½".

What length are you running? I'm thinking of going to the 12.5"

I'm thinking about going with Progressive's 440 - was considering the 11 1\2" as I like as low as I can go - But the Tech from Progressive recommemds the 12" ????? - I have already installed the progressive Ft Lowering Springs 1 1\4" as currently using a lowering cam on the rear -2 1\2" and have to pump up the rear shock so not to bottom out riding 2-up???

INPUT PLEASE...
