I am working on my 76 Penton and need some new (er?) shocks. I am wondering if anyone knows of sources of decent performing shocks that are a bit more affordable. I realize Works Performance is a great option, and many use the Progressive series 12 or series 13 shocks - but both of those are actually more $ than what I want to spend. (the progressives are much less $ than the works of course)
Stock length is 13.5" - but many guys run longer (up to 15" using the various mounting locations available on the Penton) to quicken up the steering a bit.
The series 12 shocks are availble in the lengths needed, the 13s, shortest are 15". My impression is the series 12 are really not valved for off road - more street oriented. Anyone with experience with the progressives? Any suggestions for other brands/vendors of shocks that would work for me?
