Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock - 13-Inch Standard Chrome for Harley-Davidson, Part 412-4008C

The Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock, designed specifically for Harley-Davidson models, offers an affordable upgrade to your motorcycle's suspension system. With a durable, simple construction, these shocks enhance ride comfort and handling while maintaining reliability. The 412 series features a five-position cam-style spring preload adjuster that allows riders to easily fine-tune suspension settings to match their riding style and load conditions. This adjustability provides a customizable riding experience, whether you're cruising or tackling more aggressive terrain.

Constructed in the USA, these shocks are available in various styles, including full show-chrome or black covers, and can be equipped with chrome or black springs and end caps to match your bike's aesthetic. They are measured from center-of-eyelet to center-of-eyelet, ensuring compatibility with a range of Harley models. When installing on '86-'15 XL models, some modifications like spacing the chain or belt guard may be necessary to ensure proper clearance. It's also important to note that slightly longer shocks can alter the head angle for quicker steering, while shorter shocks can have the opposite effect, impacting handling dynamics. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes regularly operated near maximum load ratings. Before installation, confirm that your wheel travel can accommodate shocks of different lengths without causing clearance issues such as contact with exhaust systems, chain/belt guards, or tires. Proper installation and adjustment will optimize your Harley's performance and ride quality, making these shocks a cost-effective upgrade for many motorcycle enthusiasts.
