Progressive Suspension Series 412 with Covers – Manufacturer's Ref: 412-4042C
Series 412 shock absorbers specifically designed for many Harley models, aimed at riders looking for an economical upgrade to rear suspension without complications. Steel construction, chrome body, and internal reservoir with gas-charged damping for consistent performance on varied roads. Spring preload adjustment via a 5-position cam for quick adaptation of the suspension to the rider, passenger, or load.
Installation and usage notes: the different length from OEM may slightly alter the rake angle and handling (longer = sharper steering, shorter = slower steering). On certain XL models ('86-'15), an adjustment or spacer for the chain/belt guard may be necessary to ensure clearance. For frequent use close to maximum load, prefer Heavy Duty variants. Check for travel possibilities and clearances (swingarm, exhaust, chain/belt, tyre) before installation. Some or all of the listed shock absorbers may be road-legal; check compliance for your model.
Frequently compatible applications: Harley Davidson FXDLS, FXDWG, FXDL (Dyna models 2017 and similar).
