Progressive Shocks

Post by stubabe »

I been reading the threads on progressive shocks and want to know if there is a way you can look at a Voyager XII and determine whether or not it has progressives installed.

The rear shocks have a Progressive label on them, around the upper cap over the spring. Aside from that, you would need to have a photograph of the shocks, to visually compare. The only way to know if the fork springs are Progressive, is to pull them. Cheers!

My Progressive shocks are chrome plated with exposed chrome springs. On the original Voyager they look a little like old car shocks with rubber boots on them.
