per the progressive website, they have completely discontinued the shock even for HDs.

I have a used pair I picked up 6 -7 years ago.  They were supposed to be good, I know the guy.  But I wanted to put on new air lines and ferrules.  Progressive was no help!  Also, doesn't someone here rebuild these?  Someday I'd like to try them out.

many rebuild them themselves, pretty easy.

Thanks for that, I'll order that kit to have on hand.  I always wondered if they were compatible with automotive air shocks.

These are 13" for our Valkyries, correct?

The Valk P/N is 416-1627A. Has anyone successfully used a different P/N in a 13" length?

ETA: As of this post, Longhorn Moto has 2 sets left in stock (I snagged a spare set for my I/S).
