I just swapped my rears to Progressive shocks and they are an immediate improvement over stock. Will they match Ohlins? Nope, not even in the same zip code but they look good, install without issue and improved my ride quality.

They are priced between $300 (Amazon) to $400 depending on where you buy them.
I will not be winning any style points and yes there will be times I wished I had the Ohlin's but at this moment in my life they fit the budget and build.
Good luck on your search.

I’m sure that will be the route I head. I definitely cannot throw a grand at two shocks for all the more riding I’m able to do. (Live in Ohio). I appreciate the info

ive had the 440 progressives, the fornales,the ohlins ,but am now back to the stock aw shocks,they may not be as good as some say but are certainly reliable. The progerssives sprung leaks, the fornales involved constant air adjustments depending on the weight and terain,the ohlins rusted but were also ugly and expensive.im happy with my stock rears, more constant, easy to adjust.andimho,the best looking. There you go, my two cents worth.save your money.
Thank you. Only reason I’m considering anything is for when my wife and I ride together. She gets jarred quit a bit so I was looking to get something with a little more control on the rebound

Then buy her a bike for herself, you both will appreciate it. 🤪
Not always a good plan. My wife had a bike for a while. I spent too much time worrying about here safety. Took some of the fun out of the rides. Sigh of relief when she sold it.

I bought mine a little Yamaha scooter to practice on. She crashed it twice in the first week, never rode it again. So much for that idea 🤷♂️

My girlfriend had a 2006 sportster 1200C and switched over to a 2018 freewheeler, best move ever. I got my freedom to ride again. Can't ride the way I like to with her on the back. She was a little miffed when I removed the passenger pegs off my R, but still have them on the breakout.
That's fine but never come home with those pegs down. 🤣
