Shocks

[robin]

I just put a new austone tire on my interstate and have a pair of Progressive 440's from a rear end i bought last year from a person that triked his bike do you think they would be better than the OEM shocks?

      Thanks,Robin

If they're in good shape, they'll be a ton better

Concur.  Just look for signs of leakage (usually from the top).

Hope they aren't extra short (as in under 12.5").

I originally had air shocks and scraped a header riding two up at highway speed!     Got rid of those as quick as I could.  Found some old used 440s that barely got me through a season, then bought some new 13" HD 444s.  I love them with the Taxi Tire.  BTW, I have some brand new Progressive 440 black chrome retrofit covers I'd sell cheap if you're interested.

Did you have to offset them with a spacer?
I spoke to progressive and they said they don't make them for the valk but all you have to do is add a few washers or a spacer.
