This is a good deal if anyone is wanting some 12" Progressive Shocks for their bike.

I'm currently bidding on them. Thanks for making the auction more noticed. :-(

They're the heavy duty version, so if you ride solo, you'd better weigh over 200 lbs. or it's gonna be a very stiff ride.

I;d say 250 lbs, I have the normal ones and weigh in at 230 and they are just fine for me, but a little soft for two up riding. I think the hd's would be way to rough of a ride solo.

Well if I do win it, maybe the ride won't be too bad. I plan on riding 2 up a lot but still would only be around 300 lbs. Maybe the Corbin seat will be adequate cushion, lol.

I have the HD's and I weight 275, there still rough even two up.

I need the HD's, the billet progressives I have are just not enough for me riding 2 up. I am 6'6" and weigh 350 and the wife is 120. Me solo is borderline, but when she gets on, it is just too much.

Installed them last night and rode on them this morning to work (40 miles). The ride is a little rougher but considering I'm only 175 lbs, the stock shocks was rough for me. Looks great now that it's lowered.

I bought the Progressive 812s (chrome spring, flamed cans) a month or so ago on eBay for my 02 Meanie. They lowered the bike nicely and ride much better than the stock shocks from my perspective. I way 195 and have them set on the lowest cam setting.

I picked them up for $175.99 shipped. This guy runs sales every once in a while if you're patient and like saving an extra $30 or so.
