Progressive Suspension has focused exclusively on American V-twin suspension since 1982, and its Monotube fork cartridges and 400/970/970G shock series are among the most common upgrades on baggers and Softails. For most riders the stock rear shock is the single worst part on the bike — this is the fix.
Progressive 412 Series shocks deliver consistent suspension performance through gas-charged, multi-stage velocity-sensitive damping in a durable double-wall steel body. These shocks are designed to provide a noticeable improvement in ride quality and handling for your Harley-Davidson.
For riders who appreciate classic aesthetics combined with modern performance, the Progressive 412 Series shocks with a chrome finish are an ideal choice. They not only enhance the visual appeal of your Harley-Davidson but also transform your riding experience by offering better control and comfort over various road conditions. Their robust construction ensures long-term reliability.
The Progressive 412 Series shocks allow you to easily tune your ride for your weight and riding style, ensuring optimal performance whether you're commuting or cruising. The chrome finish complements many factory and custom Harley-Davidson setups, making these shocks a visually striking and functionally superior upgrade for any V-twin owner looking to enhance their bike's stance and ride dynamics.
Is the preload on these shocks adjustable?
Yes, these 412 Series shocks feature a 5-position cam-style preload adjuster, allowing you to easily tune the ride for your weight and riding style without special tools.
What type of spring rate do these shocks have?
This particular model comes with standard progressive-rate springs, which are designed to offer a good balance of comfort and performance for general riding conditions.
Will the chrome finish require special maintenance?
Like any chrome component, these shocks will benefit from regular cleaning and polishing to maintain their brilliant shine and protect against environmental elements.

I bought these for my '06 FLHR and could not be happier. I'm 6' 275 lbs so I went with the heavy duty option. Took about 30 min. to change shocks and the ride has improved considerably, took the jolt out of hitting heaves in the road.
While removing the rear wheel for some other service they just quite literally fell apart in two pieces leaving me with a garage floor full of suspension oil and one unusable shock. Spoke with their warranty rep who told me in so many words that its not their problem. Dissapointed to say the least.
So far loving these, the ride is much smoother and an awesome look. Going for the 12" was a good choice, raised it but not too much.
Just changed from my stock Harley to the 13-in and what a difference it made. Bike handles better and rides better
