I recently put a set of 412s on fatbob. got them NIB on ebay for under $200. I notice some improvement in ride and bump handling. the wife says there is a big difference when she is on back. I think it was money well spent. I did go with 12.6 inch rather than 12 inch. oh and i got the black ones cause i really didn't like the look of the big chrome stock units on fatbob. if they hold up ok for a few years i'll consider it money well spent

My experiment with street glide air shocks is coming to an end, just don't like the ride. i have been checking out the 430s. Like the look of them. Web site says that the shocks are hand adjustable. I interpret that as you can adjust them by hand with out any tools and not have the bike on a lift. Is that correct? If so how difficult are they to actually adjust?

Also put 418's on a 2007 low rider I had but sold a couple years ago. These shocks totally transform the bike for the better. This is the way it should handle from the factory. I only weigh 160lbs and the stock Harley shocks were beating the hell out of my back. Every time I hit a bump in a turn the rear wheel would hop sideways a bit. With the progressives the ride is much smoother, softer but more controlled. Handling is much better. These can be pricey, full retail is around $600 a pair but I found these new on E-bay for $345 plus shipping.
