I have these shocks on my IS.



I found the Progressive name on the coil (strange place for it). But I see nothing to give me a model #.

Anyone know what the model is, so I can look it up?

I don't even see a means of adjusting it, for ride softness?

You can see what looks like oil on the bottom, need to clean it all up while I have the bags off, and then see if it comes back. Then I know or should be able to find where the oil is coming from.

They look like progressive 440s. They might have a progressive
sticker on the back, or maybe the OP peeled it off. The top chrome
cup turns on threads to change the spring preload. They're rebuildable,
and they suck when they're blown out. Progressive rebuilds them
free for owners who still have the original receipt.

The 440's are no longer made. They are now 444's and I think it has something to do with the owner of the inertia sensing system...I have a set of 11.5's in black on my bobber and love them
