Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock - 14 Inch - Black - FXD 412-4085B by Progressive Suspension

412 Series Shock - 14" - Standard - Black - FXD

The Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock is designed specifically for Harley-Davidson models, offering an affordable upgrade to enhance your motorcycle's suspension performance. Featuring a simple yet durable construction, these shocks are built to withstand the rigors of road use while providing a smoother ride. The five-position cam-style spring preload adjuster allows riders to easily dial in the suspension settings for optimal comfort and handling, whether carrying a heavy load or riding solo. Made in the USA, these shocks are available with various style options, including full show-chrome or black covers, and chrome or black springs and end caps, allowing customization to match your bike's aesthetic.

Installation requires attention to detail, especially on '86-'15 XL models, where modifying or spacing the chain or belt guard might be necessary for proper clearance. The shocks measure from center-of-eyelet to center-of-eyelet, and selecting a slightly longer or shorter shock than the stock may influence steering characteristics by subtly altering the head angle, providing either quicker or slower handling. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes frequently operated near the maximum load rating, ensuring durability and performance under demanding conditions. Before purchasing, verify that your wheel travel can accommodate shocks of different lengths without causing clearance issues such as contact with the swingarm, exhaust, or tires, to ensure safe and optimal operation.
