Its simple yet durable design makes it a cost-effective solution for enhancing ride quality and handling. Crafted in the USA, this shock absorber is built to withstand demanding riding conditions while maintaining consistent performance. Featuring a five-position cam-style spring preload adjuster, riders can easily dial in the optimal ride height and firmness to suit their preferences and riding style. This adjustability allows for quick customization without the need for additional tools or complex procedures. \u003cbr\u003e The 412 Series shocks are available in multiple styles, including full show-chrome or black covers, with options for chrome or black springs and end caps, enabling you to personalize the look of your bike. All shocks are measured from center-of-eyelet to center-of-eyelet, ensuring compatibility with your Harley’s specifications. When installing on '86-'15 XL models, some modifications or spacing of the chain or belt guard may be necessary to ensure proper clearance. It is important to verify that any shocks differing from the OEM length do not cause clearance issues with the swingarm, exhaust, or tire, especially when operating at or near maximum load conditions. \u003cbr\u003e Slight variations in shock length can influence steering characteristics; a longer shock may result in a slightly quicker steering response by altering the head angle, whereas a shorter shock could produce a marginally slower steering feel. Heavy-duty applications are recommended for bikes frequently operated near their maximum load capacity, providing added durability and support. Ensure your wheel travel can accommodate the shock length changes without interference, maintaining safe and optimal performance. This shock is suitable for riders seeking an affordable yet high-quality upgrade that improves ride comfort, handling, and style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for Harley-Davidson models for optimal fit and performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFive-position cam-style spring preload adjuster for easy ride tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAvailable in full show-chrome or black covers with chrome or black springs and end caps for customization\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eConstructed in the USA with durable materials for long-lasting performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMeasured from center-of-eyelet to center-of-eyelet for accurate fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuitable for a range of Harley models, with installation considerations for '86-'15 XL models\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAdjustable length options to influence steering response and handling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty applications recommended for bikes operated near maximum load\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatibility with various wheel travel and clearance requirements to prevent contact issues\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCost-effective upgrade to improve suspension performance and ride quality\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45966986576069,"sku":"412-4068B","price":379.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/7891\/4355\/files\/159245.png?v=1773697646","url":"https:\/\/btqllc.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-412-series-shock-absorber-12-inch-standard-black-for-harley-models","provider":"Bikes Trikes and Quads LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
