At one time I thought about Hagons. Since I have Progressive fork springs, which are about 1/2" longer than stock, and I'm running a slightly taller ME880 tire on the front, I thought longer shocks in back might make the bike handle better, so I was thinking of getting Hagons 1/2" longer than stock. I e-mailed Mike at Bella Corse about my idea, and got back a short reply that basically said...you have a cruiser and you shouldn't worry about handling. Hey, the only reason I have a cruiser is because my knees are toast. And just because I ride with forward pegs, it doesn't mean I don't want the bike to handle well. So that put me off to the whole idea of Hagons and dealing with Bella Corse. I knew he wasn't going to work too hard to make sure I had the right spring rate, etc.
That's when I turned my attention towards the heavy duty version of the Progressive 412s since I'm a bit heavy and also ride 2 up often. I ended up with stock length shocks, and raised my fork tubes 1/2" in the triple tree. I noticed a big difference 2 up, but not as much just riding solo. The bike does track better in corners without as much wheel hop to the side when hitting pavement cracks. 2 up it helps with any bumps in the road. Really smooths out the ride for my wife. If you're on a budget, I recommend the 412s.
If I had the money though, the Progressive 440s are what I would buy. Everybody around here who has put them on their bikes really like them. There's much more adjustment for rebound and damping so you can fine tune the shocks for your weight and riding style.
