I am thinking of switching to 11" 412's HD on my 08 SB and just want some opinions from others and what Progressive shoch they are running.

 

412 are cool for the money... I want to try some 440s though....

 

Like: The looks, price.
Don´t Like: hard and bumpy (on the softest setting) I weigh 160lbs (80kg)

Would look for something else... Ohlins is great stuff but expensive (Swedish by the way)

 

Here are the covered progresive 412's. They are 11". they bottom on big bumps but overall are smooth.I have them on the lowest setting and I only weigh 130 lbs.

 

I've got progressive 11" 412's heavy duty, and I weigh 260. Never bottom out. Ride with the woman a lot (she weighs 105) and still don't bottom out. I have it at setting 4 I believe.. so its pretty stiff. But I'd buy them again. They lowered me a bit, and look bad @ss (bought the black set).. look at my sig pic to see them.

 

I have the 11 inch heavy duty ones on my 05 SuperGlide. I have them set to 3 I think...I go 175. I perfer the heavier spring load. Ride is a little stiffer, but with Ohio roads you have to be prepared for spine crushers and the heavier setting keeps it from bottoming out which is where the real shock seems to occur.

I have about 7000 miles or a little more on mine. I'd buy again.

Thanks, I found a good deal local on 11" 412's and I want to change the rear stance a little. Todd, I know what you mean about the roads, try ridding here in Central PA.

 

11" HD412's... a little stiff even at #250 but they work.

 

I'm in Massachusetts and the roads are truly and utterly pathetic!

I actually took off my 440s and put on HD412s and couldn't be happier with the look and the performance... I weigh 190, and have them set to 4... it's a stiff and stable ride, but i love it! ... haven't bottomed out, yet, either

 

I have em and love the look and feel. I did go for a long ride this weekend and my back was a little sore. Go for it man.
