Default Progressive Suspension

I am having Progressive 1" drop fork spring kit and Progressive 12" 440 shocks (1" drop) installed on my 2002 Road King. I pick it up tomorrow and I'll post results and product review after a few days riding.

I look forward to hearing your results. I also just bought a set of 12" 440's for my Street Glide. This is the same height as the stock shocks on my SG since the SG already comes 1" lowered from the factory. The ride with the stock shocks has been too harsh (no surprise here - 2" travel vs 3"). I'll be installing them this weekend. I'll also post results later. Good luck!

I would love to hear back from both of you and see what you think of the ride and handling.

Likewise. I have an 06 Ultra that I need to get lowered so I can flat foot it. I will probably start with the Reach seat being it's the cheapest. If I need it lower, I will do the shocks and forks.
Still would like input on the handling of the bike after the mods you all did.

I went with lower priced Progressive 412's with H.D. spring and am very happy with ride and handling. I think I payed around $180 for them on e-bay. Alot of people have hard time deciding between H.D. spring and standard. I weigh 220 and have them set on lightest setting and they ride great.
