Purchased a set of the 412 series Progressive HD shocks to lower the rear end an inch and level out the bike since the front end had the Furber Fix done on the front years ago. They look decent. Gonna test run it tomorrow.

I've got the 1 1/2" lower progressives and love them. I'm not sure about you're reference to the Furbur Fix. The Furbur Fix doesn't lower the front end, it just swaps the placement of the washer in relation to the nuts. You're front might have been lowered but if someone told you that it's got the "fix" unless they have changed the springs internally or dropped the forks in the clamps, it probably isn't lowered. I've lowered my front by an inch internally and that combined with the lower rear end has really made the steering much quicker than it was stock.

I did both. My Yamaha mechanic lowered it after swapping the springs with the Furber. It just felt a tad front heavy. These should perfect it for me now.
