Series 412 Shock Absorber without Covers by PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION (manufacturer part no. 412-4077C): a shock absorber designed for Harley touring bikes, focused on touring and heavy use. Its simple and robust design provides a reliable upgrade to the suspension without frills, maintaining the typical chrome look that suits customs.
Before installation, check compatibility: some models may require modification or a spacer for the chain/belt guard (notably the XL '86-'15). A shock absorber longer or shorter than the original may slightly alter the rake angle and steering responsiveness. Ensure that the travel does not cause contact between the swingarm/exhaust or chain/protection. Some references are road approved — consult the most recent certificate for the updated list.
Suitable for Harley Touring and customs requiring robustness and simple adjustments to regain road handling, comfort, and load capacity on long journeys.
