I'll second the progressive 412's or Harley FLH take off shocks.IIRC Harpers used to sell the Progressives.As a matter of fact I have a set on my Sportster right now from Harper's that started life on my Jackal.Progressives came with an assortment of replaceable brass bushings to size the eyelets appropriately. Yes the Harley stuff is not otherwise a direct bolt on, but it's close an can be made to work.

Quinn has closed shop.
I should have added "and they might still".Hard to argue with the price.
I have a set taken off a Jackal when it was new. They're just sitting in a drawer in my shop. No weeping and chrome is great. $100 shipped in the USA. Contact me if interested. I'll be out of town much of tomorrow but home late tomorrow evening.
I use ball eye swivel in place of the rubber bushing to prevent binding at the mounting points.
where would a mortal find this swivel of which you speak, Mr. Sourcing Guru, sir?
It took 5,000 miles of riding before the Dave Quinn IKON's came close to resembling a shock.
Harley big twin air shocks are pretty easy to adapt.. I think you just need different bushings? $50-75 on ebay if you watch.
or your testimony that they've been acceptable to you on a Jackal and a Sportster. I'm eyeing them.
Dave Quinn sold Hagon shocks, not Ikon. Not so cheap by time you buy the "springs sold separately".
Why would you put something on your bike that people are getting rid of because they believe it to be junk?
Because some people are Divas, one man's junk is another man's treasure. Also they're coming off of 800-900# beasts, maybe they're a little under sprung to some, but match better on a 600# beast.
Or some people are cheap and don't know any better.
