Frequently Asked Questions
Can I adjust the preload myself?
Yes. The 5-position cam-style adjuster lets you change preload without tools — dial it up for heavier loads or stiffer feel, down for lighter riders.
What's the difference between progressive and heavy-duty springs?
Progressive springs offer a softer initial ride that firms up as you compress them. Heavy-duty springs provide consistent stiffness throughout the stroke.
Do these come with show chrome covers?
Standard 412 shocks have a black finish. Show chrome covers are available as optional upgrades on select applications — check fitment details.
How long do these shocks typically last?
Progressive 412s are engineered for long-term reliability. Life expectancy depends on riding conditions, maintenance, and load — but the durable steel construction handles hard use.
Is installation difficult?
Shock installation varies by Harley model. Most riders have it done at a shop in 1-2 hours, or experienced DIY riders can handle it with basic tools.
