Series 422 Shock Absorber (manufacturer ref. 422-4102C) - PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION
Designed for Softail chassis and classic touring bikes, this Series 422 shock absorber features an externally accessible preload adjustment via the RAP (Remote Adjustable Preload) system. The adjustment knob allows for quick spring preload adjustments to compensate for the presence of a passenger, luggage, or load variations without having to remove the shock hidden under the frame.
Ideal for riders who want quick preload adjustments while maintaining the sleek aesthetic of a chrome suspension. Before purchasing or installing shock absorbers of a different length than the original, check wheel clearance and ensure there is no possible contact between the swingarm/axle and exhaust. "Reinforced" versions are recommended if you frequently ride at or near the maximum load indicated by the manufacturer.
Common application examples: certain 2017 Harley-Davidson Softail/Touring models (e.g. FXSE Pro Street Breakout, FLSTFBS Fat Boy S, FLSS Softail Slim S).
