Hello all I am looking to replace my stock 12" shocks along with other mods - I am installing PM 18 x 5.5 wrath rear wheel I want the most comfortable softest ride posable .
I also want the bike lowered so the choices are
11" 412s lowest price
11" 430s
Or
11.5 440s
Right now 90% of my riding is solo But that can change
I am aprox 210 lbs so I assume the standered shock will be better not the hevy duty ?
Thanks for any thoughts

 

Same here. I really like the look of the 430's. Wondering what the diff is between those and the 412's.

 

lowered and soft ride should not be in the same sentence you won't get both

 

440 11.5 inchers will ride the best while still lowering the chassis a touch. Thats what I would buy. At 210 I would probably say the standard rate and NOT Heavy Duty will work for you. If you travel loaded with a passenger with gear and such, Heavy Duty may be the choice.

Regardless 440 11.5 inchers work great with 18 inch wheels.

 

Yep, what he said. And 440s are best, obviously.

 

i just put the 440's on and love them!!

 

Yeah, just got bags, risers, and am getting anew fender. The 440's are next on my list...

 

I put heavy 440s on mine & they are way to stiff for 1UP riding.

 

Not trying to be a smartass, but did you try adjusting them? Did it help at all?

 

440's. Very happy with them.
