Default Anybody tried the Progressive 940 shock?

I'm considering upgrading my shocks, and was looking for feedback on the 940. Thanks in advance.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivPELXq8BVA

I just installed these due to my stock shocks developing an oil leak. I'm still in the process of fine tuning the preload but I can tell you that they provide a much improved ride over the stock air shocks. Especially riding 2 up. Firmer but more comfortable if that makes sense. I'm trying to find 1 setting that will be comfortable for 2 up and solo. Not sure yet if that will be possible. It would be nice, but their not difficult to adjust.

I have been running the 940's for a few months on my 09 SG. I also changed out the front fork springs to the Progressive mono tubes at the same time. I ride solo 100% of the time and for me the difference has been dramatic. Handling is much more precise. Road imperfections are handled better. No more lifting yourself off the seat every time you see a bump. Front brake dive is gone. This system is not as exotic as some of the other high end suspension upgrades that are available but it works for me. I highly recommend the Progressive parts.

I ran the 940's and monotubes on my last bike , after I dialed them in they were great , went with Ricor's on my new bike , I haven't got them dialed in yet so I can't compare but I was happy with the Progrssives
