Progressive shocks spring rates
« on: July 02, 2016, 04:58:08 AM »
 I can't get the rate calculator on the Progressive website to work.

 I have a set of CB1100F shocks on my 550 and someone has cut down the springs. The ride is rock hard. I'm looking for ~13" springs for a 180 lb rider.
 I don't need to get into sag and all that.....anything decent is better than what I have and will suit my skills and abilities.

 What spring rate should I be looking for? Know a Progressive part number?

 And by 13", I mean I want the overall eye to eye distance to be ~13", not the spring itself.
