While looking over my new Valkyrie, I found that it has progressive springs on the rear. I've read about progressives on the vtx board, but don't know anything about them. Assuming they are not stock springs, what can anyone tell me about them. They are adjustable using a tool. Any information about them would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have them on my Interstate as well and with the length I have, they raise the rear end of the cycle a couple of inches. They're a step up from the OEM shocks for sure and you can adjust them by hand, but it's difficult to do with the bags on.

When in doubt, ride far.

Can you post a picture? Progressive makes several different shocks for a Valkyrie.

Strat, I've got Works shocks on my Interstate, Progressives on the Standard and a set of stock shocks not in use if you want to see them. You know our area code, 6 one 8 - 2 0 zero 3 If you want to run out and see them this afternoon.

Mr. Don what do you think of the Works Shocks, would you buy them again?
TIA,

Sure would Timmer! Got 50,000+ miles on the set mainly two up, the Works people were easy to talk to, and the Works are better than Progressives. IMHO

The were steep in price cause I'm cheap usually but have been well worth the investment and have kept momma happy.
