Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock - 13 Inch Heavy Duty Black for Harley Davidson - Part 412-4061B

412 Series Shock - 13" - Heavy Duty - Black

The Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock, designed specifically for Harley Davidson models, offers a cost-effective upgrade to enhance your motorcycle's suspension performance. With a simple and durable construction, these shocks are built to withstand demanding riding conditions while providing improved ride comfort and handling. The 13-inch length is ideal for riders seeking a balance between ride quality and performance, and these shocks are suitable for heavy-duty applications where the bike is operated near maximum load capacity more than half the time. Crafted in the USA, they feature a five-position cam-style spring load preload adjuster that allows you to easily customize your ride stiffness for optimal comfort and control.

The shocks come with various style options, including full show-chrome or black covers, as well as chrome or black springs and end caps, enabling you to match your bike’s aesthetic preferences. All shocks are measured from center-of-eyelet to center-of-eyelet, ensuring accurate fitment. When installing on '86-'15 XL models, modifications such as spacing the chain or belt guard may be necessary to ensure proper clearance. Be aware that slightly longer shocks can subtly alter the head angle, leading to quicker steering, whereas shorter shocks may slow steering response.

Heavy-duty applications are recommended for riders frequently carrying heavy loads or operating at or near the maximum load rating. Before installation, confirm that your wheel travel can accommodate shocks different from the OEM length without causing clearance issues with components like the swingarm, axle, exhaust, chain or belt guard, or tires. Proper selection and installation of these shocks will significantly improve your motorcycle’s ride quality, handling, and overall riding experience.
