    Hey all. I'm  looking to upgrade the crap sporty suspension. I am looking at the 412 Progressive as an option . Can anyone tell me what the real difference to the 440 Progressive is please. I am 72 kg's riding an 883 low. I think it's a worthwhile up grade and am pepared to look at options but am a little confused. cheers

    I put Ikon shocks on my wifes Low, and they are better than stock, but not really perfect on the Mornington Peninsula's bumpy roads. Actually Ikon themselves suggested a one inch longer shock, which would help, as well as improve the laughable ground clearance of the Low. (Seat height is critical for my wife, so we went standard length). If I had my time over, I would probably look at some form of air suspension, as I know from previous experience it performs well, and is very adjustable.

    Hope this is of some help.
