Well..well...well.... I talked to Progressive a few minutes ago and the 444 series shock has not been produced yet!!!!!!!!

It's a brand new shock that is not on the market.

He said it will be at least 4 more weeks until they will be available.

Will they let you put in an order now?

First I asked that they should cut me a deal since I want them now and going to have to wait. He chuckled and said "sorry I'm afraid I can't do that" I said let me think about it. I would have to pay full price $624.95 with them in which another "dealer" I can save $62

I really like the looks of the shocks very much. After doing some research online and finding others talking about this shock it is the FST technogly that makes these shocks nice. As a fellow put it Progressive stepped up from the 440 shock to this 444 series shock.

To bad I don't live closer to CA since I have the 2010 Roadster.....maybe they need to test the 444 shock

Yes 12.5 is our stock shock. This link might not work but the shocks shown in YELLOW are the shocks available for my bike in stock height.

At $600, you're getting close to Works Performance shocks- don't they build each shock to order? Any reason to go for the Progressives over the Works?

I have never heard of them.
If they have a all black shock would be nice.
