I just removed my P465 and fitted a new Ikon 3610.
I will update this as time passes with a few observations.
I purchased the P465 initially to replace the original Honda Shock.
The P465 is a pretty nice looking shock to be honest. Beatiful finish and colour. Very nicely made.
However the adjustment dial is numbered 1 through 5 and I dont recall turning it counter clockwise but I must have done so and smashed the adjuster. It MUST only be turned clockwise. I was/am so dissappointed that I have no adjustment at all. The possibility of it ariving that way seems remost so I must have been at fault.
So I purchased an Ikon 3610-1010. Fitted it last night. Took it for a very brief ride and its nice. What I noticed is that the P465 is a few mm taller than the Ikon when off the bike. Later I will investigate this further and take a few photo's.
Today I packaged up the P465 and sent it back to Progressive under an RMA and will get it repaired ... returned and then will be in a position to play some more.
Initial observations.
1. I definately like the look of the P465 better than the Ikon.
2. The P465 looks beefier and more solidly constructed.
3. The Ikon is easier to adjust. The sag is set by the tool supplied.
4. The Ikon tool is simple and straitforward. The P465 needs a ⅜ drive rachet or similar to fit to their dickie spanner end. Much trickier adjustment.
5. The Ikon adjuster is finger adjustable, fairly easy to get to but hard to read the number.
6. The P465 is easy to read and an allen key hex wrench sets its adjustment. Better access though.
7. The Ikon spring is prgressively wound and the P465 is a linear spring.
I will add information later as it comes to hand.
Initially ... Not knowing where the P465 is set between 1 and 5 leaves me blind. What I will say is that the ride was a bit tough on some bumps and left the kidneys feeling it. The bike felt sure footed though and was much better than the original.
The Ikon is only just fitted but I initially set it on position 2 and its definately softer on my kidneys. Sure footedness is the same so far.
I set up both the P465 and the Ikon with the same sag of 34mm.
More later when the P465 returns repaired.
