I found mine on amazon for 218$ shipped.

 

On Amazon the 4068C (chrome) it's $230 plus shipping. On DK it's $235 with free shipping. The 4068B (black) is $210 plus shipping on Amazon.

 

Sounds like dk is the way to go. Pay that Harley tax lol

 

lol

Progressive shocks $235

Other stuff needed:

Mustang seat with backrest and passenger pillion. $700 retail

Passenger bracket and pegs $100

Adjustable highway pegs. $150

K&N air filter and remap. $400 (It already has the V&H slip ons w quiet baffle)

Panacea rear light and signals $300

All the above are just to make it run better. lol I know we're all in the same boat. Not sure I'll have any money left over to do the tins or add the 4.5 gal tank. lol

 

Ah just sell a kidney you don't really need two of them lol

 

I hear I can give half my liver also. lol

Unfortunately I can't give any lung lobes with my health issues. Damn! I could have had sweet mods with that!

 

FYI - If you're looking for a better ride, I suggest you go with the 12.5" or longer 412s. The Progressive 412 series come with 2 different "spring rates". The 12" and shorter 412s have a noticeably stiffer spring rate and provide a harsher ride than the => 12.5" 412s. At 220+ lbs I'd also suggest also use the HD version if you every travel 2up or with luggage.

Remember that the shocks are mounted at an angle and the added length doesn't increase the rear height of the bike proportionally. A 1" increase in shock length will only increase your ride height little more than 1/2".

I'm 215lbs and run the HD 12.5" 412s.

 

The 12.5" seems like the way to go. The majority of the time I'll travel solo. Rarely will I have a passenger. I'll travel occasionally. I just don't want the HD if the ride will be harsh even on the softest preload. It would sort of defeat the purpose. If, by some miracle, I should lose any significant weight than I'd be stuck. It kind of sucks being right on the border of the two shocks.

 

FYI - Even when I was down to 195 lbs, I ran the HD 412s on notch 3 of 5 running solo.

 

Since the fork tubes are shorter on the 883L than your 1200C, hopefully I won't have to buy longer ones.

Oh, I forgot to ask, how difficult is it to change the shocks alone? I don't have anyone readily available to help. Yes, I know lots of cursing will be involved. lol
