Upgrade over OEM
My 2001 RK Classic was in bad need of new rear shocks. Old ones didn't hold air for more than a couple hours and I ride with momma on the back or loaded up for a long solo ride 90% of the time. Rarely do I ride solo without a load or the boss behind me. So after lots of searching I decided the 412s were what I needed since I will be buying a new bike next year. No need to spend a ton of money. <br /><br />Package arrived quickly and after opening and giving the instructions a quick read I was after it. Got the bike on the jack bags off and lower shock bolts on each side out. Top bolts come out next and since I had everything off and out of the way I took time to check out everything and clean things up. Time for new shocks now. Pop in the spacers and put a little bit of blue LocTite on the threads (instructions didn't say it was needed but I feel better with some on there) place top bolts in first and thread them in a little bit. Place the bottom ones in next. You might have to adjust your jack to get the holes to line up but not a big deal. Everything lined up and tightened down (didn't have a torque wrench so I just went until I thought it was good) cleaned up and got the wrench they send with the shocks and I turned them up a click. Put bags on with some weight in them and went for a ride.<br /><br />Noticed right away it was lowered down. Liked the look of it so I'm happy with that. Then after I got out and on the roads that used to jar the bike hard and went down them I noticed that it was a lot smoother. I was so happy with it and enjoy riding even more now<br /><br />I know that the higher price shocks will ride much better than these but I'm incredibly happy with the improvement over the 16 year old air shocks that were on it. <br /><br />So my advice is to have realistic expectations with them. If you are looking for an improvement over old worn out shocks these will do that but won't give you a Cadillac ride. They are under $300 so you have to expect improvement but not an mind blowing experience
Shocking
I have bought both high $ and low $ shocks and these work great for the $. Replace your stock air shocks in 10 minutes and off you go... I would buy them again.
I love the new 412 series I bought for my 03 Ultra classic!!<br />Replaced air shocks, my ride is so much smoother!!
Best bang for the buck!
These shocks provided the most radical change to the ride and handeling of my motorcycle. Suspension should be on your upgrade list and these shocks should be your choice.
Much better
Bolted the shocks on in less than 20 minutes and took off on a 150 mile ride. Night and day difference from the stock air shocks.
Progressive 412 shocks are a lot better ride than the original shocks on my 2003 ultra classic.
2005 Road Glide
Easy remove and replace on my 05 Road Glide. A good budget option and upgrade from stock.
What a difference! Replace your factory air shocks with a set of Progressive 412 HD's and get your ride back on track.
we are switching all of our harleys to progressive coil over shocks because they can handle the weight load. unlike the air shocks. the handling and responce is greater without the bottoming out under load. its also a much softer ride for the passenger.
Worth every penny big improvemt over stock air without the hassle
Great Value upgrade for an Older Evo Ultra
Purchased these for upgrade on my 1990 Ultra Classic which had the stock original air shocks. These shocks are a major improvement for the price. They seem to be well made and the ride has improved dramatically. Would recommend for anyone upgrading on a budget.
Great upgrade from stock
Rides great compared to my blown out stock HD suspension. Makes me wonder if a cartridge setup is worth the money
Much better than stock shocks
Progressive 412 shocks are the "go to" for most Harley baggers. The OEM air ride shocks fail over time and never really give a good ride. Our customers often chose the Progressive 412 shocks for a great result at a fair price.
Would buy again in a heartbeat
10x better than the old blown out Harley air shocks on my 1994 Tour Glide. I have the Heavy duty 13" version...went from a rough hardtail-like experience to a sporty, firm & responsive ride. It's crazy what only changing out the rear shocks can do to the overall ride & handling of your motorcycle. 10/10 reccomend these shocks to all of my friends. Even 2-up on the lowest firm setting these shocks ride wonderfully (im 250, she's 180) These may be 'entry level' shocks, but man they sure feel like premium!
97 Road King FLHRI<br />Replaced the factory air ride shocks with these. They fit perfect, fast and easy installation. Works great for a 200 lb. rider at second from lowest setting. Plenty of adjustment left for 2 up riding. I chose the stock 13” length to maintain factory clearance. May be a little more firm ride than factory, but I imagine they’ll get a little better as they break in. Overall, a great upgrade over stock.
Wow what a difference from the OE air shocks much better.
cushy ride for sure now! easy to install
Awesome, everything I hoped it would be!
Awesome. you wont be dis appointed. these shocks make an old bike ride better than new.
The shocks where purchased to lower a 2000 Harley Road King for my wife. The shocks accomplished this task and provided a better ride and handling over the stock air shocks.
Progressive shocks
For 410.00<br />I thought I would have a better, more smoother ride then the air ride. I'm not sure that's it's better....
Shocks
Haven’t got to ride much since putting them on but they are so much better than the air shocks I took off.
What a difference
What a handling change. Should have removed the rear air shocks years ago.
Worth the money
Worth the money. Handles a lot better and rides a lot better
Installed today great Ride thank you
Removing my original equipment air ride shocks on my 02 Road King and replacing them with these progressive 412 series shocks definitely made a positive difference. Very happy with my purchase.
I removed 10.5" shocks which was causing my 2005 Road King to bottom out over bumps, with 12" 412 series. What an awesome difference these shocks made in the ride overall. Installed easy enough and came with all the hardware needed except new bolts. So as long as your old bolts aren't galled, you'll have no trouble installing these shocks. I've been enjoying the ride all week.
I haven?t installed them yet.
Great product
Great shocks for the money the bike rides much better
Great value.
Highly recommended. Much better than the stock shocks. Did a quick 700 mile trip with a passenger and full bags. No bottoming out, handled great.
got rid of air shocks. Got my suspension back. Corners and handles great again.
Great switch from air shocks, much better ride
Great buy
Great buy and easy to install
So far so good. They Look good.<br />I haven't been far loaded down yet.<br />Lightest setting with no load feels better than stock air assist shocks.
very nice the bike rides very good , easy install. very pleased, this is my second set i bought from you . for my 2009 and 2003 ultras
What an improvement over the stock air shocks. Smooth ride especially 2 up. Easy installation took less than 45 min .
Great quality products. Easy to install easy to follow instructions.
Great product, easy to install and adjust. I'm very satisfied with the performance of this product.
I had the 412 11 inch on my Electra classic. I switch and put the 13 inch 412 and wow what difference. The preloaded is on zero and the ride is amazing even with my wife and your pack on.
These shocks work well for entry level, much better then my stock air adjustable on my Road King. Once the sag was adjusted they travel well.
Handles a lot better on bumps can’t feel a thing. Nice they are awesome.
They got it to me on time <br />Easy two bolt hook up<br />Nice for two up
19 year old OEM air shocks replaced with the Progressive 412 shocks on my 99' HD FLHRCI. Much better ride. Still adjusting for 2 up. Great product for the price.
Grea shocks worth every penny. Since i put these on the ride has been much smoother.
Easy to install. Improved the ride.
Fit great and rides even better. Install was simple and quick. Don't have to worry about air shocks leaking down any more. Way better ride than stock. I highly reccomend this upgrade.
Easy install so far its a good ride
Worth it
Replaced stock in my 91 FLHTC. Night and day difference.
New Progessive 412's
Had two rides with a setting of the bottom. I like them, but need an answer of what setting should I have them on for comfort for two people weighing a total of about 300 or less. Please advise.
Progressive shocks
For 410.00<br />I thought I would have a better, more smoother ride then the air ride. I'm not sure that's it's better....
They’re just a little stiffer than I expected
Great fit. Ride well. Received them in a timely fashion.
412 shocks
Truly amazing shock - just as described!
Quality product. Easy install
Love them!
I had Road King Low shocks on my ultra, they were not comfortable at all, I could never dial them in right. These 412's are nice, look good and make the ride very comfortable.
Easy to install.we will see how long they last.
I only have them on the bike for 150 miles,but what a difference in the ride.i also have the progressive fork cartridges. But the rear shocks made the bike handle better also.
Have not had a chance to ride them, have to wait for better weather.
Shocks made a big improvement over the stock air shocks. Would have liked the warranty to be more than a year.
Shocks were easy to install, much cheaper than replacing my air shocks, ride quality is decent
Perfect fit, easy installation, wide load range with quick adjustability. And the price is right. Check with me in a few years on durability...
Sweet
Great ride !!!! Wish I would have got rid of the air shocks a lot sooner
Came as advertised,no issues.Vast improvement from air shocks.Road King feels a lot better being 1" lower
Quality seems decent, easy install, feel ok a bit stiff but dont bottom out with two up and we are bigger people
shocks are what i ordered, service & exchange were excellent! Thanks
SHIPPED AMAZING FAST, BEAUTIFUL PRODUCT INSTALLS EASY WITH SPACERS PROVIDED.<br />I ORDERED HEAVY DUTY SPRINGS SHOULD HAVE ORDERED STANDARD SPRINGS.
Wirk great
Very happy with this product. I have used them before and will buy again in the future!
Great product. Huge difference in handling. Easy installation. Well worth the money and affordable
Exactly what my ride needed. Easy to swap out.
work great no more leaky air lines
5-Star
Great product! Fit my 1995 Sportster 1200 like a charm. With help from a friend, I was able to change these shocks with a car jack!
no issues
* Yeasy install. <br /><br />* Washers rust after first rain<br /><br />* Not safely for your back. Realy bad. Ride such as angry bull
Super, and fast shipping!
Great looking Shocks. Head the warning on fitment. Too large in diameter to fit on a 1979 Roadster without chain interference. Returning for smaller shocks.
Looks and works great.
improved ride right out of the box ,i put them on 2000 police road king
Look GREAT, Quick & Easy 30 minute install!
I needed heavier springs.
Excellent
