Progressive 412 Shocks For Harley Sportster 2004-2022
Best Value Upgrade: Progressive 412 Shocks for Harley Sportster (2004–2022)
The Progressive Suspension 412 Series Shocks are the most popular and affordable rear suspension upgrade for the Harley-Davidson Sportster (XL) models, spanning the Evolution-powered generation from 2004 through 2022.
These shocks replace the often-harsh factory units, offering a significant improvement in damping consistency, ride quality, and handling while allowing riders to customize their bike’s ride height and stance.
Key Features of the 412 Series
Improved Damping: Features a double-wall steel body with nitrogen gas charging and multi-staged, velocity-sensitive valving. This provides smoother, more consistent damping that handles small bumps better and reduces bounce.
Adjustable Preload: Equipped with a 5-position cam-style preload adjuster (spanner wrench included). This allows the rider to easily adjust spring stiffness to compensate for load (solo, two-up, or heavy luggage).
Progressive Rate Springs: Utilizes progressively wound springs, which are available in two primary options:
Standard Duty: Recommended for riders with a total loaded weight (rider, gear, passenger) typically under 250 lbs.
Heavy Duty: Recommended for bikes operated at or near the maximum load rating over 50% of the time, or for riders with a total loaded weight over 250 lbs.
Aesthetic Finishes: Available in classic finishes like Chrome or Black bodies and springs, often with optional full-length chrome covers.
