PERFORMANCE SHOCK ABSORBERS-BLACK

You lucky bastard!
I found the eBay UK link hours ago too, but they would only accept UK buyers and I sent an email to my cousin to see if she could send them on but haven't heard back from her.
Last time I had her act as my eBay UK address I picked up a Decosses keyless ignition for less than half price and your win was about one third original price back in the mid noughties.
I had even thought about contacting you to be my proxie But They would have just been spares for me as I have my 444's - so enjoy!

I checked out the part number and they are the HD spring version for 250lb rider + pillion and are the 13" length NOT 13.5" so should be spot on.

Here is the catalogue listing confirming Rocket 3 fitment

Here is some interesting info from a Valkyrie forum which also uses that model.

Progressive Shocks

Here is the deal on Progressive 440s:

For standard and tourer: Standard Rate is the 440-4213 (C for chrome/ B for black)
Heavy Duty is the 440-4221 (C or B)

For Interstate: there is only one shock recommended and it is the same shock called heavy duty for standard and tourer, 440-4221, BUT IT IS NOT IDENTIFIED AS A HEAVY DUTY SHOCK, IT IS CALLED STANDARD RATE FOR INTERSTATE, THERE IS NO HEAVY DUTY SHOCK MADE FOR INTERESTATE. This is just Progressive's semantics, but it has lead to a lot of confusion.

I had a long talk with a Progressive tech about the SuperValk with no trunk/back seat/sissy/or passenger ever, and SHE recommended that I use the 4213 at my 180-5lbs, which was my feeling as well (even though the SV still has the 7 gal tank and fairing). She explained that it takes 8 of 10 (available) turns on the 4213s to get the same suspension rate of a 4221 set to the cushiest setting.
