My Road King Classic had 1" shorter Progressive 412 on it when I bought it, they were OK if I was alone but when I would have my 125lb GF on the bike with me they would bottom out all the time, even at the stiffest setting.
I purchased the Progressive 430's and am very impressed with them. Smooth ride yet never bottom out. I think they were around $380 for the pair.

The stocks are ok , just trying to lower the bike down about an inch to get my feet on the ground better , I don't want to spend a rediculous amount on shocks but I can look at the 430s I guess ... I checked with dennis Kirk and they don't have heavy duty 412s ... Where can I find a place with the heavy duty ones ?

I've been lucky with the 412's on my past bikes, and now my new to me 2001 RKC
has it.
It originally came with the stock 13" air shocks, I have a 31" inseam so I went with the 12" 412's with the heavy duty springs. I contemplated on getting the Lowprofile air shocks that HD offers, but I remember having that on my 06 RK and I didnt like it as much.
Anyway, combined with the mustang seat it makes the ride a lot better compared to stock.![Smile](https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
ETA: I got my heavy duty ones from JPcycles
