    Hi, I weigh about 100kg and ran IKON progressive on the rear on my last bike. Deffinately 100 % better ride. Plus with Wife on back they were Great. Have been told HD, OEM shocks are only good for 90kg and for a limited amount of K's from New.
    The Brand Progressive are cheaper, but I wanted Aussie made, Plus when you ring Jeff at IKON at Albury, He will ask you weight and how often you carry a Pillion and extra weight. He makes them to suite YOU., They are not a One Suites ALL.

    IKON around $575 .Custom Made to your door.in a couple days.       Progressive Brand   around  $400.  One size suites all.

     Ricor shocks on mine and very happy, Wasn't happy with progressives 418 series. Bang for the buck the Ricor shocks are right up there. Built for weight and riding style.

    Can' beat the Platinum Bleed and feed air system, if you can spare the cash and time.
