Progressive Suspension rear shock

[cimmer]

I am wonder how those that have the Progressive rear shock setup for the 1st Gen MKII like how the bike rides and handles with it. I am thinking about acquiring one before they are no longer available but wanted some input from those experienced with that set up. I will be doing both single and two up riding and interested in how that does for you also.

I already have the Progressive fork springs installed and that was a major improvement.

 

Thanks

The original shock on these are very good. I would only replace if it was leaking oil or air. The progressive shock has a very OLD style dual ring, spring preload. If you ride solo all the time ...no problem. I have my original shock with a hvy dty progressive spring. I only recommend this spring if you ride with passenger all the time like I did 20 years ago.. I ride solo now it's a stiff spring even when setting the PSI low...

What monoammortizator costs at you? How you adjusted it? Me preload and damping interests. That is, on how many to tighten a spring (2/3, 3/4) and Damping (3, 4 or 5)?
