Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock - 12 inch Heavy Duty Black for Harley-Davidson Models 412-4081B

412 Series Shock - 12" - Heavy Duty - Black

Designed specifically for Harley-Davidson models, the Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock offers a simple yet durable upgrade to your motorcycle's suspension. Constructed with quality materials, this shock absorber enhances ride comfort and stability, making it a cost-effective improvement for riders seeking better handling. The 12-inch length provides a slight increase in ride height, which can contribute to quicker steering and improved cornering performance. Its heavy-duty construction ensures reliable performance under demanding riding conditions, especially when operating near the manufacturer's maximum load capacity.

Features include a five-position cam-style spring preload adjuster, allowing riders to easily dial in their preferred ride stiffness without the need for special tools. The shocks are available in various styles, including full show-chrome or black covers, with either chrome or black springs and end caps, enabling customization to match your bike’s aesthetic. Made in the USA, these shocks are designed to meet or exceed safety standards, with some models approved for road use; always check the latest certification for compliance.

When installing on '86-'15 XL models, modifications to the chain or belt guard may be necessary to ensure proper clearance and avoid contact with exhaust components or the tire. Slightly longer shocks can alter the head angle, resulting in somewhat quicker steering, while slightly shorter shocks can produce a slower steering feel. It’s important to verify that your wheel travel can accommodate shocks different from OEM length without causing clearance issues. Proper installation and adjustment will ensure optimal performance and ride quality, making the Progressive Suspension 412 Series shocks a popular choice for riders seeking durability and customization.
