rear suspension on touring bikes

[alsong]

Has any one used progressive suspension 444-4021 shocks on baggers. Combined weight and load can reach 450# so can bottom with stock shocks. Would these be a good upgrade

You wound have to go to their site, for the fit on a bagger,I run the 440's on one of my bikes they are stiff but work for what I was looking for!they have diff. Weight and length for diff. Bikes!

Installed the 444's and a set of mono tubes last winter.  The bike handles better. I notice some improve in ride comfort. Wife says the improvement was huge. Easy to adjust, not that i do it very often.  Personally, I still feel the saddlemens explorer seat was the best mod for comfort.  450lb to 500lbs when riding.

I have the tall boy seat and am happy with it's comfort. Just looking for a shock that handles our load well. Am looking at the heavy duty shock for above 250# and assume they work well for you.

Standard springs.....  I was off on my math this morning. 375 to 425lbs.   Yea they are Worth it to me but I am also considering the fact they are maintenance free.
