Progressive

[SiP]

I found the link to the progressive website in tech tips, but when i tried to find a dealer they all seem to be Harley dealerships - I want to steer clear of those if possible as (obviously) they don't know much at all about bikes (I always tell people when they question my choice of bike "Why buy a Harley when you could actually own a real motorbike").
So my question is: Where did you guys buy your front springs? How much do I expect to pay? What spec rear shocks (there's too many choices for me to work it out lol) do I want?
OK I know that's three questions - sorry.
Thanks

Thanks Succubus. There's still an awful lot of cjoices there though - which is the one for me? How do I know what is the right size?

Hey Simon,
On the ACCWHSE site, at the top, there is a link to the Progressive site, clicked on Metric, then on the year/make/model and this is what they showed!

There's a tech tip about which progressive rear shocks to use, I'll post a link to it at the end of this post in a minute once I find it!

Unless you intend to do a lot of 2 up riding, then I think the Progressive rear shocks are a bit much!$$$ You can get decent Monza brand ones from MikesXS, PNM for about $80.00 a pair, and they work very well! IT's your money!
