Yea! They must have gotten more than a few emails from you folks when I requested a couple of months ago.

As I stated in the other thread, these are good shocks and have used them on some of my other bikes. A set of Progressives, given past pricing, should be considerably less than the Elkas ($1500-2200) or the other even more expensive option that evoluzione.net ($3000?) offers.

They also would probably provide a proportional enhancement... not as good as the Elkas but considerably better than stock.

Thanks for following up!

I did not mention SpyderLovers or reference you I thought it would be better to just ask and add another one. I feel as you do with the handling already improved with the sway bar I just want quality shocks and bushings to improve the ride a little and dependably a lot. Chrome would be nice also. hyea:

As much as I dislike chrome on my Spyder, I agree with you. I cannot keep the front shocks clean of bug guts and rock chips... and they now look old. Short of repainting them, there's no real solution with the OEM shocks... for me... for now.

Since the shocks are tucked away it would not be like a Dyna-Glide where they would stand out. You would just get the "hint" of chrome and they are much easer to clean and shine as you say. :spyder:
