Indian Scout Bobber Rear Suspension Upgrade - Progressive 444

So a long overdue upgrade for the bobber (surprised it took me almost a year to get to this one!). I’ve been waiting on these shocks to be available for quite awhile. It took 4 months to get these after I ordered them due to all of the backlogs and backorders created in the wake of the covid 19 shutdowns. I looked at other shocks but these seemed to be what I kept coming back to. I have heard great things about the fox shocks but they weren’t available until June and they were 300 USD more than I paid for these and didn’t hear anything suggesting that they were better. The install consisted of 4 bolts and were one of the easiest mods with the biggest impact. The bike feels so much better with these shocks.

I’m also providing links below to the parts I’ve installed on my bike. The procedure is pretty easy and outlined in this video.
