Progressive said they would settle in a litte after 500 miles did you find that to be the case? I weight about the same so hoping they will, unfortuneately winter is here for real.

I tried some different setting over the 1st 1k so hard to say whether they settled in or I dialed them in. They don't give a Cadillac ride but I never expected them to, it's a motorcycle

I'm trying to feel my 940's (940-4020UT). I bought them and decided to go another direction before opening them. They are brand new in the box and I just want what I paid for them. I am also selling a set of 412HD's (412-4080B) that are brand new NIB. PM me if you are interested.

not looking for a cadillac ride either, just a better shock that doesn't jar the spine so badly. our roads in my part of canada leave a lot to be desired with all the asphalt breaks and pot holes. I will do some more checking on other brands as well as some have suggested ohlins. It pays to do your homework as this is a something I will have live with if I am wrong. Thanks for the opinions
