Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock - 12 Inch Standard Black for Harley FXD Models (Part #412-4042B)
The Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock is designed specifically for Harley FXD models, offering a cost-effective upgrade to enhance your motorcycle's suspension performance. Featuring a simple yet durable construction, this shock absorber provides reliable handling and improved ride quality. The 12-inch length and adjustable preload allow you to customize your ride for comfort and stability, whether you're cruising city streets or hitting the highway. Made in the USA, the 412 Series is built to meet high standards of quality and longevity.
With a five-position cam-style spring preload adjuster, you can easily dial in your preferred ride height and firmness. This adjuster provides precise control over suspension stiffness, helping to adapt to different load conditions or riding styles. Some shocks in this series are approved for road use; please refer to the latest certification for current compliance. Multiple style options are available, including full show-chrome or black covers, as well as chrome or black springs and end caps, allowing you to match your bike's aesthetic.
Installation considerations include potential modifications when installing on '86-'15 XL models, such as adjusting or spacing the chain or belt guard for proper clearance. Slight variations in shock length—either longer or shorter than stock—may influence steering characteristics, with longer shocks offering quicker steering and shorter ones providing a more relaxed feel. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes operated near maximum load ratings over 50% of the time. Prior to installation, confirm that your wheel travel and clearance are adequate to prevent contact issues with exhaust systems, swingarm, axle, chain or belt guards, and tires, especially when choosing shocks different from the OEM length.
