Thanks for the quick response. Well hell then, what the sense of changing the shocks? I am not complaining of the ride I get now, but I thought if I can find something to get rid of the corner wobbles at a less price I will take it...

Used Progressive 440 HD 13" on of my 2006 Street Glide. I really like it and it has made a great difference. Got them on e-bay at the best price I could find.

I have no wobbles with my '07 bagger . I did have on my '02 E-glide Classic , and installed new 440's, a True-Trak system, but the biggest improvement was probably the switch to Metzeler ME 880's front & back . I have considered another set of 440's for this bike, but was hoping for some feedback on something alittle less pricey ......?

I run the same setup. Throw in an adjustable backrest and your set.

Progressive 440's have my vote. Easy to adjust roadside, if necessary. Pick your size.

I imagine if you have better stability in the rear I may not need to purchase the true track.
Wrongo.....decent shocks will not aleviate the need for a device like True-Track.

If they are working for you then there is no reason in changing them. How 'bout trying a device like True-Track first, then decide if new shocks are in order?

Again........ I have no wobbles with my '07 bagger .---asking about shocks ! I had a True -Trac on my '02 and I would only "maybe " buy one again as a very last resort { pricey & really didn't solve much on the '02 } as stated above . The question was regarding rear shocks ........[sm=dontgetit.gif]
