Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock for Harley - 13 Inch - Black 412-4065B

412 Series Shock - 13" - Standard - Black

The Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock, designed specifically for Harley-Davidson models, offers a simple yet durable upgrade to your motorcycle's suspension system. With a focus on cost-effective performance improvement, these shocks feature a five-position cam-style spring load preload adjuster, allowing riders to easily fine-tune their ride for optimal comfort and handling. Whether you're navigating city streets or cruising on highways, these shocks provide reliable performance and enhance the overall riding experience.

Constructed in the USA, the shocks are available with various style options, including full show-chrome or black covers, as well as chrome or black springs and end caps, enabling customization to match your bike’s aesthetic. All shocks 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, modifications such as spacing the chain or belt guard may be necessary for proper clearance. It is important to verify that the length of the shocks does not interfere with other components like the swingarm, axle, exhaust, or tires to prevent contact issues.

Choosing a slightly longer shock than stock can result in a marginally altered head angle, offering quicker steering, while a slightly shorter shock can provide a more relaxed steering feel. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes frequently operated near their maximum load capacity, over 50% of the time. Before purchasing, confirm that your wheel travel can accommodate shocks of different lengths without clearance problems, especially regarding chain/belt guards and exhaust contact. These shocks are designed to improve ride quality and handling, making them a versatile choice for motorcycle enthusiasts seeking durability and performance from a reputable brand.
