OK, I'm a little hard to convince sometimes….
I put my new 440 progressives on my Rocket this evening and went for a ride.
HOLY FLIPPING COW! It’s a new and BETTER bike. I love it now even more!
Now I shall move on to the windscreen….
 
Yeah I really feel they made a difference for me too. The longer you ride the old shocks the better cause it makes the contrast so great!
 
Shocks do make an instant and positive improvement . Shame Triumph did not put some good ones on there at the start . :?
 
Progressives

I weigh in at 300# and 6'5" in height..so the question is...when I pick up my new Rocket what size shocks should I get..I'm thinking 13"/ heavy springs...any thoughts? After reading the different comments from you all..my test ride was enough for me to go immediately to the progressives..maybe even before I get it off the showroom floor.. is there any gain in height by using the longer shocks or is it just travel?
 
I'm 220 and 6'2.I put the 13inches on with standard springs. Works well for me.
 
I'm 5'10 & 190, 12"with std springs works for me.
I fitted 440-4229CC
these have chrome tops,bottoms & springs
so look good too.
