    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am getting some Progressive rear shocks, but still need to decide on whether to get the standard or heavy-duty spring. I weigh 200 lb.

What have you guys chosen for rear spring weight and what have been the results?
 
Standard, unless you ride two-up more than 50% of the time. I'm a bit heavier than you and I ride two-up sometimes, so I went with the Heavy Duty springs.
 
If you plan on lowering the rear, I would go with the heavy duty. Other than that, what the guy above me said!
 
I weigh about the same as you and have the standard. They are set on the lowest setting and work for me well. I double occasionaly as well and my wife goes about 120lbs. and I still leave them on the lowest setting and get a nice ride.
 
I just put a set of 412 cruisers on mine last week and I weigh in at 160.They are on the softest setting and work great.It changed my ride TOTALLY!!!!It's like a brand new bike.Check out my pics below if you want to see them.I also have the vetter side cases and had no issue in spacing either.I had no idea how bad my old shocks really were.
