After 40K , I think is time to change my shock absorbers , really need your help between chosing a used vs a brand new , or if is there any possibility to get refurbish.
Also if you see a good ofert that you can recomend it will be highly appreciated

Regards

I only have experience with progressive 440s, they're good.

If you can find some low mileage (not worn out) Interstate shocks, they're supposed to be pretty good on a Tourer/Std.

Works performance shocks are supposed to be really good, I think they get information from
you and sort of tune them to your situation...

I have all 3.  I had IS shocks on my STD.

I have 440's on it now.  They WERE on the IS briefly.   They are 13" HD's

I have Works Performance shocks on the IS now.

I like the Works the best.  I like the 440's better than the IS's.

Do you have a specific question?  How heavy are you?  Your SO? (careful with this answer...) How do you ride?  What is your budget?

It all matter for a good recommendation.
