I don't know if I'm going to take the plunge as I'm not unhappy with the stock shock. I can say that Progressive make excellent shocks and fork springs, I have both on my Valkyrie and they have made a substantial difference.

I ordered a progressive shock. The 20% discount got me.

Good for you, Dave. You are going to enjoy the Progressive shock absorber. I have been testing one for over a month, and it is much superior to the stock shock absorber. I would never send mine back; I bought it.
http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=15467 Now that the Progressive shock is officially for sale, I will write an installation tutorial sometime this week.

Sorry Spud for the pm, I just saw your reply on the these forums about the shock. Looking forward to the tutorial.
Does the new shock raise the seat height? I just put a lowering link on it and like it at that height. Ordered mine, Steve thought they would put in the order Monday, then 4-5 days to make them. Then deliver. rj

My wife would also kill me. Somehow the needs of a 6 month old outweigh the needs of my RX3
Spudcicle - I see a valve for adding air on the original shock. Do you have any idea on the typical pressure in there. I have a pump for my mtn. bike that goes to 300 psi. Maybe it's worth toying with the pressure to optimize the original?

I can't verify the accuracy, but AKT in Colombia says the Chinese shock should have a pressure of 44 psi. Experiment at your own risk.

Think I'll wait as well. Am amazed how well the stock shock works considering my heft.
Once someone gets one I want full measurements. Length c to c. Width of bottom mount, etc. Will look for alternate shocks that may work well. Have been running a ZX14 Shock on my SV for a long time and it rocks. In fact am on my second one. Some stock shocks from Japan bikes are very well made and we all know how many bikes end up being parted out early |

I kinda wished they (CSC) would have an option of remote spring preload adjustment so when I load up for trips I could dial in more preload and when I'm just running around home be able to back it off, rj

New shick
Yes , measurements would be awesome so one would know what one could make fit, I need a better shock , but just can't afford the progressive one right now.i did this with my zong Sierra, put a Yamaha banshee rear shock on it for $75 an it made a huge improvement.

so... for everyone that got the new progressive shock over the holidays, anyone complete the install and get measurements for the rest of us watching on the side?
Also, Spud, did you happen to write the tutorial and I can't find it? I saw the tutorial on cleaning and greasing the lower shock linkage.... |
