Gonna change out my front springs and rear shocks. Think I am going with Progressive.....feedback on which model rear shocks? Found some are "standard" and others are Heavy. Appreciate you guys input/ where is the best price? Thanks

I bought the Progressive 13" HD shocks. The best price I found was at Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse. What I did was to find the best price and then I called Honda Directline and they will always beat the competitors price. Good Luck....

Standard vs HD springs depends on how much weight you usually carry on the bike in rider/passenger/cargo.  Progressive will give you guidelines on the breakoint.

As far as the different models go, the IAS shocks will perform better, but depending on your riding style, you may not need to pay the extra for them.  If you ride hard, especially in the curves, you'll appreciate the IAS.  If not so much, the extra money may not be worth it.  If I recall, Progressive won't rebuild the less expensive ones, but I could be remembering that wrong.
