Can anyone tell me what the difference is in the Progressive 413 and 422 shocks? As far as I can tell they both are for 2000+ Softails, and the 422s replaced the 413s?

 

That is correct. That was years ago though. 413's would be pretty old stock now

 

The 422's are designed so that you can lower the bike up to 2 inches. I don't think you can lower the bike with the 413's

 

If that is the case then I definitely want the 422s

 

Here you go. Great article on all the differences.

That article was great. Thanks for the link

 

nice information

 

I forgot to mention the fact that I have a set of 422's on my 2003 Fatboy. They ride nice. I also have the progressive drop in lowering kit in the front as well as the Ricor emulators. Although, I elected to lower my bike only an inch.

 

You guys are aware that Progressive is comming out with an adjustable "on the fly" 422 shock?
Check their website. http://www.progressivesuspension.com/productlinehd.html
It's called the 422 (RAP) Remote Adjustable Preload
It will be available in January.
I already talked to Drew from Dr. V-Twin. He already has a good price on them. Way cheaper than directly
From Progressive.
Look up the thread - Progressive 422's are now adjustable "On The Fly"
