Progressive 412 Series shocks deliver consistent suspension performance through gas-charged, multi-stage velocity-sensitive damping in a durable double-wall steel body.

Fitment
Fits Harley-Davidson models. Verify your specific year and frame with Progressive's fitment chart before ordering, as shock applications vary by model generation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I adjust the preload after installation?
Yes — the 5-position cam-style adjuster is accessible and lets you change preload without removing the shocks from the bike.
What's the difference between standard and heavy-duty springs?
Heavy-duty progressive springs support more weight and provide stiffer ride. Standard springs suit lighter riders. Choose based on your combined weight with gear.
Are chrome covers included?
Chrome covers are optional on select applications and may be ordered separately. Check if they're available for your specific Harley model.
Will these improve my stock suspension?
The 412's gas-charged damping and progressive springing provide smoother, more controlled ride than factory shocks on most Harley models.
Do these shocks require installation by a professional?
Shock installation requires removing the rear wheel and breaking the frame welds on older models — professional installation is strongly recommended.
