shock recommendations?
Today at 08:50:01

Anyone got experience with Progressive 412? I figured the ones for s50 would fit a savage.

Riding mainly 2 up. 320 pounds total between the two of us. Honestly just looking for comfort. This stock suspension is tearing me up solo on some roads let alone the both of us.

I was thinking. 11.5 inch heavy duty? Or does anyone have a better recommendation? I don't mind the rear being lifted a little over stock.

progressive suspension makes a couple for the sportster that work.

I used the 11" for an extra 1/2" of travel.

412-1005 for about $150 if you're under 200#
412-4233 if you're over or ride double.

They make a metric adapter for them, but a .030" wall tube with the right ID is all you need to adapt them to the savage.

Now if you want posh for the over 200 crowd

440-4022

The superslab that I travel on has bumps that I needed to stand up to get thru. with the 440's I'm sitting the whole way.
