Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock - 13 Inch Standard Chrome for Harley-Davidson 412-4002C

412 Series Shock - 13" - Standard - Chrome - H-D

The Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock is engineered specifically for Harley-Davidson models, providing a durable and cost-effective upgrade to your motorcycle's suspension system. Featuring a simple yet robust design, this shock absorber enhances ride quality and handling, making it suitable for a variety of riding conditions. The five-position cam-style spring preload adjuster allows riders to fine-tune the suspension to match their weight, riding style, and road conditions for optimal comfort and performance. Constructed in the USA, the 412 Series shocks are available in multiple style options, including full show-chrome or black covers, with either chrome or black springs and end caps, enabling customization to match your bike's aesthetic.

Designed with versatility in mind, the shocks are measured from center-of-eyelet to center-of-eyelet, ensuring compatibility with a range of Harley models from 1986 to 2015. When installing on XL models, some modifications or spacing of the chain or belt guard may be necessary to ensure proper clearance and prevent contact issues. The slight variation in length compared to stock shocks can influence the head angle, providing either a quicker or slower steering response depending on whether the shocks are longer or shorter. This adjustment allows riders to tailor their handling characteristics to their preferences.

Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes that frequently operate near the maximum load rating, which accounts for over 50% of riding time. Before selecting shocks that differ from the OEM length, it is important to verify that wheel travel can be adjusted without causing clearance issues such as swingarm or axle contact with the exhaust, chain or belt guard, or tires. Proper installation and adjustment ensure a safer ride and better suspension performance, making the Progressive Suspension 412 Series shocks a reliable choice for enhancing your Harley's ride quality and handling.
