    wanted 12" 440 or 444 Progressive shocks

    Tried a pair of 412's in 12 inch. Love the geometry/stance but the 444's spoil me for the ride. Have a mint pair of 13" black Progressive 444s with standard and heavy duty springs, and a very nice pair of chrome 12" Progressive 412s, in case you might be inclined to work a swap. Or cash...

    Anybody happen to have a receipt for a set of Progressive 440 rear shocks?

    Long-shot unusual request I know, but a buddy of mines "lifetime warrantied" shocks have given up the ghost and Progressive will not replace them without a receipt. He's searched but he can't find his receipt now, 10 years later. You'd think Progressive could be a little flexible with...

    Proper rear spring rate for Progressive 440's

    So, I got a set of Progressive 440's for the rear of the '94. Got a sweet deal on them from Kyle here on the forum. I installed the set and HOLY SHIT! are they ever stiff. It's like riding my '57 Pan hardtail. With the wife on back, they are perfect. The spring preload adjuster is at the softest...

    440's, worth the money?

    Now that I've finally rebuilt my forks with heavy progressive springs, it's even more obvious how woefully undersprung the rear is for my fat ass. I have 11.5" 412's on there, and I clock almost 300lbs in gear. Rough freeways are like getting kidney punched repeatedly. For someone my size...

    Progressive 440 adjustment

    Can someone here that has the Progressive 440's explain the way to adjust these for inital setup? I am not seeing much in the way of markings to indicate a starting point or a way to tell that both shocks are adjusted the same. Any help would be appreciated.:ummm: -Mike

    Progressive 440 Install

    Installed my Progressive 440's yesterday. Review: They are *a lot* firmer than my old stock suspension. Even on their softest setting, they are firm! I am not a suspension expert in anyway, shape or form. So keep in mind this review is all based on the seat-of-the-pants-dyno-style-meter. Very...

    440's installed...

    Hey Guys, I got my 440's installed yesterday. They fit and look great IMO. You can tell they hadn't moved (been in the box) in a while because when I sat on it, it was like sitting on a bike with struts... Hey... I'm a big guy so that's saying something. I bounced a few times and they...

    Has anyone used both 412 / 440's? Progressive suspension

    Has anyone used both Progressive suspension 412 and then 440's? I am looking for a comparison from someone who has used both and actually compare the two with their own experience. I am wondering if the 440's are worth the extra dollars.

    440's and intiminators

    I finally got around to installing the 440's I got off of ebay about 9 months ago. I also tightened up the steering stem bearings and raised the forks up in the trees an inch to see how I like that. I have some intiminators and plan to lower the front when I install them. Just not sure how...

    Progressive 440 settings....

    Who here is running Progressive 440's? I'm a newbie v-max owner, and mine came with pretty much brand new 440's (stickers are still on them). They were set as soft as they could go, but I figured I'd like them a little stiffer than that. I turned them each 5 full times (1/2 of the range) and...
