DCR - Its kinda hard for me to recommend as I haven't tried any of em at this point.
In my post here http://www.r3owners.com/viewtopic.php?t ... viewresult I try to get some more stats on which Manufacturer to go with. Basically with 16 guys on progressives I imagine they're the best way to go, so this pic is my next step. Because I'm such a big bastard (See biggest rider smallest rider post) and I'm always two up I will most likely be going 13" HD springs.

This website doesn't show the polished aluminum caps with chrome spring version which is what I got. I went thru a local shop $535, but on-line you can get them for about $479. I weigh 225, almost always solo. The regular springs are perfect at about 3 full turns (not 3 indentions in the top!).

Here's the 13" chrome for $388.95. The black chrome is now considered a special order item and takes 45 days. I don't see the 13.5" anywhere, although some Captains have them (ones for the Valkyrie?),

Thanks, Psydone, for the link - and what about jfcroni's idea about replacing the hard plastic with rubber in the shock mount ends as a mod to the stockers?

I odn't think it will do too much to be honest, one of the BIG problems I have with the suspension is the pogo rebound, rubber mounts aint gunna stop that.
