Progressive 430 HD Shocks

Oooo, they look nice. If they're an improvement on the 440s I may have to spring for a pair if my diet works out. :wink:
 
I looked at these when I ordered my new 440's a couple of weeks ago, but the dealer advised that the 440's were (in his opinion) better kit, and worth the extra bucks. Cheers, Terry. :twisted:
 
Ive had a set on my bike for uuuhhmm about 2 months now I think..

I noticed the difference right off the bat from the stock shocks, feel much more confidant in tight sweepers...

they are suppose to be adjustable by hand.. but you have to be well.. atleast stronger than me to be able to do that..hahaha

I got the black 11.5's... I like em...
 
What type and size rear tire are you running, George? I have 12' 440 stds leftover from my VTX 1800 and I'd like to make sure that they'll fit nicely and won't mess too badly with the stock geometry before I install them.

I believe those 12's are only 1/2'' shorter than stock. Should work fine.
 
After some miles on the Progressive 430 HD's, I have to say they are the best addition to the bike I've made. The dampening is flawless....no rebound pogo-ing and a dead flat ride. What an incredible difference from the stock shocks!! The spring tension adjustment is by hand and they are hard to turn but doable. The look is gorgeous as well. I've never tried the 440s but can't think of a better ride than these give. BTW mine are stock length 12.5".
Recommend them very highly!
