I remember reading somewhere that the optimum weight or the weight Harley used to set up suspension was 180 lbs. If your shocks are at the softest setting, have you checked the tire pressures? Check your owner's manual, mine states 30 psi in front and 36 psi in the rear tire, 40 psi with a passenger. An over inflated tire will tend to skip over road imperfections particularly with a light rider.

I have Ohlin s36E and did not pay near 700 bucks. You can get works street or black tracker for just over 400 bucks.

I am sure they are a good shock, but the S36E isn't exactly Ohlins better shock either. The YSS TR/TRL Z-366 is looking like a really good shock for the price and the adjustability. I had works on the sporty and I was less than impressed, had very limited adjustability, better off with the 418s. For an inexpensive solution to the original post, I still think the 412 would work just fine, were talking some serious coin here for some of the better shocks. Tough decision either way. I would spend the money on the true track and intiminators, then reassess the rears if the 412s aren't working out. Just my 2 cents.
