Anyone out there work/deal/import Progressive Suspension ?
I have found that a 1200 '96 hardly spurster custom([:o)]) weighs in at 10kg less than my Xjr so I'm thinking the rear shocks would be ok to fit.

Beware Sharky, Progressive Harley shocks are absolutely SHITFUL, I've got a set on my ...... ummmm ..... my ..... other bike ;) & the fucking things wallow all over the place at speed, I even tried another set off a mates bike which were brand new & they were zackery the same. You can't go past proper performance shocks like Koni, Ikon, Ohlins, Hagon, WP, etc, etc for your application. There are a LOT of twisty roads up 'round your way, you need summat that actually dampens the spring oscillations proply.
Do a search on findapart.com.au for a set of original XJR Ohlins.
BTW, missed you at Broadford on Satdy, did you go?

Thats what I was wondering Turbo...I had a set on my old xs11 in the uk and they were er...ok...but then anything would improve that beasts handling.
I haven't been able to find Ohlins xjr shocks for a decent price so for now I am getting a stock set from a wreckers. Mine are rock hard and leaking so I need summat quick. Once the monies there I will look at Hagons and the Bitubo stuff again.
Thanks fellas.
Oh and No we didn't make it...got into working on the house. We gotta leave Seymour !!!!!!!!!!
