Had a leak on the right shock.  Put the stock shocks back on in the meantime.....
  Will call progressive tomorrow and get them shipped back for repairs.... have my original invoice.... and progressive has a lifetime warranty..... Just kinda sucks that they are leaking.... Same thing happened on the progressive's on the Harley, but Progressive made it good..

That was the reason I went with the  manual step right below with the super heavy duty coil springs.

I had originally bought the 440's and after 4 returns I asked if they could do something else.     They offered the step down to manual and a little bit of a refund and I grabbed it.      They are still setting on #3. where I set them when I got them, and will still not bottom out and will hold my lard butt and the wife's large back side.    That total is well over 430#.

This is the best thing about paying LARGE for new 440s.

I put them on when I got the bike, had about 26K... I'm just about to roll over 70K (I think)...
I guess 40K of punishment on bumpy back roads with a700 pound motorcycle is nothing
to sneeze at...
