97 Valk 1500C Rear Shocks

[Gene]

Looks like my 20 year old Progressive Suspension rear air shocks are now leaking.  Been riding around on 0 PSI for some time.  Going to replace them.  Any recommendations?

Also, what length?  Can't find it in the shop manual, and have only seen 13" as a requirement, or maybe a recommendation. 

Suggestions would be helpful.  I'm leaving on a 7 day trip in a couple weeks.

Thanks
Gene

I think the safest/easiest bet might be Progressive 444 shocks.

13 inch if you can reach the ground and like curvy roads.

Search for 444s on this board if people don't add details about
spring rates and stuff into this thread.

What are the stock spring rates for Std shocks?   IS shocks?

MarkT posted rebuild instructions for the Progressive Air Shocks, along with the required seal kit P/N.

Search this board for them.

Thanks for the input.  I'm trying to get a 13" set of Progressive 412's but they're back ordered every where I look.  Going out to eBay and see what they have there.

You can try these folks...

In 1973 Works Performance was started and created by my Dad, Gil Vaillancourt. In 2015 he passed away, and Works Performance closed down in 2017.

In 2017 Worx Shocks opened its doors and is run by Gil Vaillancourt's daughter using the same revolutionary damping system.
