What makes the Progressive 412 shocks an improvement over stock?

The 412 shocks feature a doublewall steel body and nitrogen-charged valving for smoother, more consistent damping. The adjustable preload also allows you to fine-tune the ride for your specific needs, which is often more advanced than stock suspension.

Can I adjust the ride height with these shocks?

These shocks have a 12.0 inch length. The five-position cam-style preload adjuster allows you to change the spring tension, which affects how the suspension compresses under load, but it does not change the overall installed length of the shock.

Do these shocks come with everything needed for installation?

The shocks themselves are included. It is recommended to check the manufacturer's installation guide or consult a service manual for any additional hardware or specific procedures required for your particular Harley-Davidson model.

About this part

Product Details

Progressive is known for making suspension components that offer a noticeable improvement over stock, and their 412 Series shocks are a prime example of that value. If you're looking to upgrade the suspension on your Harley-Davidson Sportster, these 12-inch chrome shocks are a solid option that fits a wide range of models, from the XL1200X Forty-Eight to the XL883N Iron 883.

These shocks feature a doublewall steel body construction, which is built to last. Inside, they use nitrogen-charged, multi-stage valving that helps provide smooth and consistent damping, meaning you'll feel a more controlled ride over bumps and rough patches. You can also dial in your preferred ride feel using the five-position cam-style preload adjuster, whether you're carrying extra weight or prefer a firmer setup.

With their full show chrome finish and chrome springs, these shocks not only perform well but also add a clean, classic look to your bike. They are designed as a direct replacement, making installation straightforward for many Sportster applications.
