R3 rear shocks - last question.. maybe..

I found on ebay the Progressive 412 12.5" part #412-4219C for $221.90

The Progressive 412 13" part #412-4213C for $221.90.

And the 440 12.5" part #440-4233C for $493.65.
All heavy duty.. assuming you get what you pay for, and the 440's are the best and/or newest, I'm leaning toward the 412 12.5" ones as being still a better than stock ride. But will go with the 440's if they are much better.

Also, why the different sizes? don't want to raise or lower seat height.
Thanks,

12.5" is the stock height. and I concur with the 412s. I bought 412s with the standard springs instead of the HD. With the standard springs, the springs are too soft.. and NO damping!.. Might as well be just riding on springs back there!..

I now run Triumph's own Comfort Shocks as covered in another thread.

DO NOT BUY THOSE 412s !!!
They are **** - at least if you like to push you motor at all in the twisties.
Very Very stiff and NO dampening.

I bought a set put a 100 mile ride on them and called Progressive.
They wouldn't credit me anything for a return even when I offered to upgrade to the 944s.
I'm done with Progressive. The one on my other motor (mono) has been awesome. When it wears out, I'll buy another brand.
