I put progressive forrk springs and rear shock on a 1500 Gold wing that I had. Much better ride and handling. My wife even liked it better on the back.

Craig900,
I put Progressive suspension both front and rear. For my bike it was day and night difference. I was riding on original rear shocks and springs that had no oil left in them and front springs were original and there was no oil left in the fronts either. The ride is so much better than it was. The only thing I wish I did was to get a slightly softer spring for the rear. I am on the softest setting now and it is a bit rough for just cruising. I would say do it. Well worth the investment.

Much better ride with Progressive fork springs and 12-1201B (12.5") shocks on my 1100
