Default Progressive 940s

I just made a purchase for the Progressive 940s. I hope that these are the right ones for me. I knew that the stock shocks were just not cutting it for me, so I decided on the 940s and I am a little apprehensive about leaving air shocks for my 09 road glide.

Yep that's the right ones. They'll be a little shorter than your stockers.... but not really that much. At least not enough to really notice from the saddle. You may have to re-aim your headlights just a little, or not...... depends on if you want to pi$$ off oncoming traffic.

I'm with ya here, just ordered mine for my 09 serg, worried about the height being higher than what it is stock I know ride will be better but it has to look right too, how much did you pay for yours?

I have the 940s and monotubes... Putting the 940's on this weekend, buddy Mike will be doing the monotubes for me, I am scared to fart around with the front end... Will be adding the Progressive Touring Link stabilizer when it comes in and the True-Track trackula pivot / motor mount / bushing kit... I am hoping that all the questionable handling characteristics will be addressed by $1500 in updates.. Let's see how it plays out.

I have the bike already lowered in the front and I have the 1" lowering bracket from ebay.
