Designed with simplicity and durability in mind, this shock absorber features a five-position cam-style spring preload adjuster, allowing riders to easily customize ride stiffness and comfort to suit their preferences and riding conditions. Whether you seek a smoother ride or a more responsive handling experience, this adjuster provides quick and precise tuning without the need for specialized tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstructed in the USA, the 412 Series Shock is available in various styles, including full show-chrome or black covers, with options for chrome or black springs and end caps to match your bike's aesthetic. All shocks are measured from center-of-eyelet to center-of-eyelet, ensuring compatibility with a range of Harley models. When installing on '86-'15 XL models, some modifications such as spacing the chain or belt guard may be necessary to ensure proper clearance and prevent contact with other components. The adjustable length of these shocks can subtly influence the head angle, leading to either quicker or slower steering responses depending on whether the shocks are longer or shorter than stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes frequently operated near their maximum load capacity, providing additional durability and performance under demanding conditions. Before purchasing or installing shocks that differ from the OEM length, it is important to verify that your wheel travel allows for proper clearance, avoiding contact with the swingarm, axle, exhaust, chain or belt guard, and tires. This ensures reliable operation and maintains the safety and handling characteristics of your motorcycle, making the Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shock a versatile and reliable upgrade for Harley riders seeking improved comfort and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for Harley-Davidson models, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFive-position cam-style spring preload adjuster for easy customization of ride stiffness\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA with durable construction for long-lasting performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAvailable in various styles including full show-chrome or black covers, with options for springs and end caps\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatibility considerations for '86-'15 XL models, including potential modifications for proper fit\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSlight length variations can influence steering response, providing tailored handling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty applications recommended for bikes operating near maximum load capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEnsure proper clearance with wheel travel and other components before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45966857076933,"sku":"412-4051B","price":344.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/7891\/4355\/files\/160879.png?v=1773695350","url":"https:\/\/btqllc.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-412-series-shock-12-inch-standard-black-for-harley-davidson-412-4051b","provider":"Bikes Trikes and Quads LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
