Progressive Suspension - Series 412 Shock Absorber (Manufacturer Part No. 412-4064B)
Series 412 shock absorbers without covers, designed for Harley and roadsters requiring a robust and simple solution. Black steel body, internal reservoir, and gas-charged damping for stable suspension response. 5-position cam preload adjustment for quick adaptation of behaviour based on load and riding style.
Some practical points for installation: on certain XL models ('86–'15), it may be necessary to space or modify the chain/belt guard to ensure clearance. A shock absorber longer or shorter than the original may slightly alter the rake angle and thus the steering responsiveness. Check the travel and clearances (swingarm, exhaust, belt/chain guard, tyre) before installation.
Some units are road-legal; consult the manufacturer's certificate for the up-to-date list. Recommended: Heavy Duty versions for motorcycles frequently carrying loads close to the manufacturer's maximum.
