Installed new shocks last night (Progressive Suspension 444) massive improvment on the Ikons I was running. Over the last week I had them on highest preload and was bottoming out on pebbles, was actully hitting the belt guard. The Ikons lasted 26000k's so not sure if thats normal?
old shocks were 11inch, new 11.5
Really wanted to get the 970's but @ $1250 fuck thats expensive =P

forgot to mention don't need a retarded C-Spanner to change the pre-load, just twist them.
Got them from Rollies speed shop for about $750 i think it was, Could have got them about $150 cheaper on ebay but everyone seems to only sell the Heavy duty version and 11 or 12inch.
