Progressive Shocks .. Standard or HD

07 Nomad 1600. I ride mostly solo, occasionally a passenger. I'm 185 Lb.. With passenger about 400 Lb.. If I got the HDs, how would they compare with the shocks that came with the Nomad? With the standard Progressives, would they feel about the same when I have a passenger with the Nomad shocks? Just trying to decide.
Thanks.

when i had my 1500 classic 7 yrs ago, I installed the Progressive 412s I think they were (forget the number), they were the Progressive heavy duty ones, loved them, because for me I prefer a stiffer ride, and for you with those weight numbers you posted I think you'll do better with heavy duty one, the standard ones might be too light and could bottom out too easily which is not bad but it's just annoying

"With passenger about 400 Lb." Jesus. Now we know who ate all the pies.

I went with the 444s because I run two up most of the time with luggage
