I just installed progressive mono-tube cartridges in the front and 944's in the back of my Road Glide.I rode it about 20 miles in today's cold with the stock shocks in the rear and I felt a big improvement. When I got home I cleaned the garage a lil bit and installed the 944's. It is about 30 degrees here ,I went on a quick ride hit some of the destroyed roads from the rough winter and was not to pleased with the harshness of the ride..? There did not seem to be any binding When I put them on. They are not the HD's and I weigh 215-220 lbs. Do they need a good break in or what? Right now the the stockers worked better. I have no pre-load on the spring and my buddy behind me said it was bouncing all over.Any experience with these shocks appreciated.

Today I loosened the 944's and checked for binding,went for a ride and no difference still very stiff. I put the stockers back on and put 18 lbs of air in them.I rode it and checked the stock sag settings.Seems like they are very close to the sag setting I took them back off and put the progressives back on and went out riding. Called progressive told them what was going on and they said i should have between 11.25" and 11.50" eye to eye with me on the bike. I have about an 1/8 more then that so not too far off. Progressive said they will check them out if I need. One of the adjusters feels gritty when you turn it I I guess I will ride it for a while and see if anything changes if not Progressive stands behind they're products. Any one else have problems with sag and spring rate?
