Progressive 444 Series Shocks

Heavy duty for solo riding at 190 lbs?

By Falconer

I am having trouble deciding between standard and heavy duty Progressive 444 11.5" for my 2021 Indian Scout. I weigh ~190 lbs and primarily ride solo, but 1/4 the time I have a passenger (~140 lbs). I am primarily interested in these shocks (which I had on a previous bike) for the passenger comfort, so was leaning towards the heavy duty. My concern is how that will impact the solo experience. What is the impact to a solo rider below the 250 lbs mark when using heavy duty shocks? Thank you.
