I came across this listing on ebay and thought ...hmm....Not massively expensive, so rather tempting.
But....Is it any good?
Does it solve the harsh rear end over potholes etc....?
Has anyone out there fitted this kit? and if so, does it improve the ride?
Hyperpro Progressive Rear Shock Spring...
I was wondering how the Progressives perform with the 265 Carpenter Racing modification? Can you get enough adjustment to help with coming off the start when drag racing?
Hello all,
I’m chasing some new Progressive rear shocks for my R3. Can’t locate in Australia. Part numbers I have been given don’t show up anything with Progressive for a R3. Which are 444-4213B. I’m told there are Harley shocks from Progressive that will fit a R3. Is this correct ? If so does...
Hi all
Im looking at replacing my stock shocks (08 Classic)
Need advice on the progressive 444's . Do go for 12.5 " or 13" ?
Whats the exact model number to suit my bike ?
Ok so I am finally going to update to the Progressive 444 13 inch rear shocks.
The question is do I go for the Standard or the Heavy duty springs?
I am around 110kg or 240lb then add my gear to that so 115kg or 250lb ready to ride, my better half also comes along at times.
PS> I am trying to...
Greetings!!!
I want to mount better quality springs in the forks of my R3 Classic 2006, I want to know which is the best option and what you think about it: progressive springs or linear springs and why?
I bought a couple of rear shock absorbers from YSS and I want to improve the forks too...
Just installed the Progressive springs in the front of my 07 Standard. Really like them, seems to be smooth but stiff. Left tube is a little bent, but I think it will be ok. Replaced right tube, disc and fender. Back in January I got stuck between a Rocket and a hard spot. All is good, minor...
This one is 1/2” longer than stock, heavy duty (250+lbs.) and black, $451.86 +free shipping.
Progressive 444 Series Standard Motorcycle Shocks 13" Black (444-4221B)
i installed the progressive front springs and while i was installing them i drilled and tapped the top cap for a Schrader valve. all went well i then put 20 lbs of air in it to bring the forks to the top. when i set on the bike it compresses just a little. the forks has held the air for about a...
For the fork spring replacement going to progressives, is is necessary to fully remove the forks from yokes or can the spring swap be done with the fork tubes still in the yokes? I know many other bikes can be done with the tubes still in the yokes, but it looks to me like that approach on the...
Well one of the fork seals is leaking and since the beast is due for a service I thought, might as well get Progressive Springs for the front at the same time. They arrived in record time (Thanks J&P Cycles, purchased on Tue 26/03 and arrived Mon 01/04, so less than a week USA to Oz).
Question...
Update: manufacturing glitch. I talked with someone at Progressive and after seeing my photos, they seemed pretty sure that's what happened. ***Read on if you are replacing springs or servicing forks.
I hope others will have better luck. I couldn't wait for a replacement, so I put the original...
My right Progressive 440 is leaking (weeping) fluid and gathering dirt and dust all over the lower end of it. The great part is Progressive won't fix it unless I have a receipt from purchase. Well I didn't buy them. They came on another bike I bought. They said they no longer support the 440...
Decided as I can't ride for a month or so while I recover from surgery, might as well do some upgrades.
Got out the manual and read through it and went what the heck??? Looked at the bike and lo and behold, no drain plugs on the lower sliders. Could understand that in a Roadster or such with...
