Progressive or standard?

I need to replace the rear shocks on my 78 KZ650. Old Bike Barn sells Progressive and replica shocks. I like the idea of the replicas because they look original.

I am looking for opinions from anyone who may have ordered either of these. Quality, fitment????

Thanks

Well, if you pack double alot you might benefit from progressive shocks.

Other wise, replica (original) type shocks have worked all these years, so why mess with something that just works? IMO

I have had a couple of bikes with Progressive all the way around,, BIG difference in handling ,,It is just what you are looking for / Performance or stock feel and look :) :)
