Its widely acknowledged that when you're putting on a second set of tires it's time for a new set of shocks. By that time and with that mileage the OE shock is often history. The question is, what do you use to replace those worn shocks?      Easy answer. A set of Progressive Suspension 440s will transform that Harley and let it get the most out of those new tires. The PS 440s, with their Inertia Active System (IAS) are a virtual guarantee that the rubber stays firmly planted on the road while the rider enjoys a smooth, jar-free ride. IAS technology employs two completely separate rebound/damping circuits to totally control chassis and wheel movement. One circuit is inertia-sensitive, the other velocity-sensitive and the result is enhanced stability, handling and comfort. The 440s also feature Progressive Rate Springs, and they're pre-load adjustable with no tools required. All this adds up to one top-of-the-line Harley-Davidson shock absorber.      And now those 440s look as good as they work. Adding flash and style to that inherently great design, Progressive Suspension is offering the 440 Series shocks in a choice of finishes. There's Chrome, Black Chrome and a tough Black Powder Coat. No matter what style or color that motorcycle is there's a 440 Series shock to match the look, not to mention what they'll do to improve the ride and handling. The PS 440s are available in six different lengths so you can fine-tune the ride height to the application, and these shocks are offered in a choice of either Standard or Heavy Duty with the springing and damping custom calibrated for solo riding or two-up touring.      Progressive Suspension's 440 Series shocks are available for the V-Rod, the FLT/FXRs, Dynas and Sportsters. They come with a limited lifetime warranty, too, something brand-new from Progressive Suspension. The retail pricing is just a little over $500 for the set, money well spent, and Drag Specialties has them in stock.      And remember, if you're changing tires and shocks do the job right and replace those OE fork springs while you're at it. It'll make a tremendous difference. Progressive Suspension has what you need there, as well, and Drag Specialties carries it all.
