PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION 412 SERIES SHOCKS INSTALLED ON MY HARLEY DAVIDSON ROAD GLIDE! *CHEAP UPGRADE*

[@jerrybrown66]

I put standard (not heavy duty) 412s on my '09 RG. Improvement over stock. Never bottomed out even on the lowest setting. I'm 180 lb plus gear. Lot of dudes on here saying these are junk. Was not my experience. Adjustability is a pain, but still better than stock and a good tradeoff from paying $1K for a set of the trendy shit.

[@crazylena925]

You got the 412s, but what length and other specs are the shocks you got? I'm looking to get those.

[@patrickhollis5332]

Know it’s an old video but you was talking about washers and sleeves to push the shocks about and away from the bike but using the sleeves are washers on the outside of the shock won’t move the which at all it will if you add them in between the shock and bike

[@ontheothersideoftheroad]

If your riding alone great if your riding two-up no goog. I went from stock air shocks to Prog 412 12.5" to 412 13.5" and now 944 UT 13" but sit 12.5"much better than previous ones.

Hey, did you lower the front too? Or is it stock.

Stock

[@DOOWORKMOTORSPORTS]

Front is still stock.

[@vmcc9070]

Thanks for sharing brother. Are these better than stock? Thinking about changing my UL 2014 rear suspension for these same shocks.

[@DOOWORKMOTORSPORTS]

No, after a few hundred miles, I took them off and sold them. Very stiff!

I'm 5.7 1/2 and just changed the seat to get flat footed. But I'm on an older 2007 SG with the Air Shocks (I don't hate them but I'm in Los Angeles. Not all that great comfort. Dunno if there is a height difference. So my question is are you happy with the progressives??? Have to changed them out since this video?

[@DOOWORKMOTORSPORTS]

I am happy with the 412's Yes, they lowered the bike, however the ride quality isn't noticeably different from stock..

The H-D stock shocks are only adjustable on the left side; the right shock is a slave. The left controls the compression and rebound. The right assists as a slave.

[@ronnishioka3455]

I just bought a pair of the 412s and I was wondering since the 412 are one inch lower did you have to adjust the tension on your belt?

[@DOOWORKMOTORSPORTS]

No I didn't, however the 412s were junk and I took them off immediately, and I upgraded to Ohlins front and rear.

[@johnnybotello4304]

So how did you like the shocks. I know you upgraded later thru your videos but i just got a road glide as well and i dont want to spend too much right now. Do you recommend these?? I weight 230lbs 5'8

For you, Looks to me there's trouble ahead for the ends of the 4.5" mufflers.. I'm needing to find decent replacements for my 21 Street Glide. I'm shorter than you, and OEM is 12" shocks, I thinking about going a mid range quality 13" and adding 1" drop adaptors to prevent raising the bike.

[@LinhNguyen-nq5di]

Looking forward to hearing your riding impressions. I’m a light rider (165 lbs) and I’m wondering if the standard spring rate 412’s will provide a more compliant, smoother ride than the stock shocks.

[@DOOWORKMOTORSPORTS]

No, these shocks suck! Took them off after 500 miles of riding.

[@StefJoyal]

Yep same here, took them off

[@crazyridezinc4880]

I put the Progressive 944 Ultra Low rear shocks and 1" Lower Spring Progressive Front Suspension ,Mean Look Great Ride ! Highly Recommended.

[@lieutenantAldo]

What is the main customization that made it possible for you to be flat footed - was it the lucky have seat or the progressive shocks?

[@DOOWORKMOTORSPORTS]

Progressive shocks forsure, however, they sucked! The bike rode so rough. I already removed them and sold them..

[@ALLSHOTENTERTAINMENT]

Did they not come with spacers for the top my ohlins came with some so the wouldn't hit.

[@ericjames7680]

When you look in the Harley accessories they do not show rear shocks for lowering but offer a kit to lower the front end. Wouldn't that have been better? Now you only have about 1'' of rear shock travel I think?

I went even further on my 2019 FLTRXS, I really liked how my 2017 FLTRXS sat. Although I'm 6'1" I liked the feeling of inside the bike vice on top of the bike. So I put super low shocks on (at a cost of $760) and got a 16 inch rear wheel off a 2017 RG. The bike handles well in the curves living in the country of Central VA. So if u need a 2019 rear wheel and tire with 3KMiles on it, I'll sell it cheap....

That is not the way to change out rear shocks. If you don’t lift the rear wheel completely off the ground you won’t need a floor Jack.

[@philmayard4807]

You didn’t give the torque number!

[@1962egl]

Get the legend revo A's 13" in the rear and the legend axio std front cartridges. The 13" revo A's have the same ride height as stock but have an inch more travel. Huge difference in ride quality. The axio cartridges drop the front 3/4" but increase the travel on the front end. The front end sucks more on these bikes than the rear. Everyone always go to the rear shocks first but the front is where it is at. The rear is for comfort but the front is for performance. I am 5'7" also and I run this setup. You do not want to decrease travel on these bikes , you want to increase travel while not increasing ride height. This set up levels the bike drops the front end a little , puts you flat footed, increases the suspension travel and gives comfort in the rear and performance in the front. The only down side is cost. You looking at about $1,800 parts only. I know it sounds crazy but it will be the best money you will ever spend on your bike.

[@DOOWORKMOTORSPORTS]

Thank you for this info. I will definitely look into this setup!

[@a.j.1327]

Mann these progressive 412 suck! Had those on my FLHX, really couldn’t feel a difference compared to stock. You could’ve beter saved some money and buy a set of legends directly. You’re throwing away money now. Other than that, love your Bike! Keep ‘em coming.

I will try them out and see. If I don't feel much difference I will just save up for some legends and sell these.

Those shocks are shit I would give you mine for free. Shorter shocks they will bottom out every time you hit a major bump or railroad track.

[@3rdgearmoto]

Totally agree that shorter shocks bottom out. I’m 190 lbs (with gear, jacket, shoes, etc...) and medium setting on the shocks bottom out on me and any setting above medium is too stiff (standard spring).I had the shorter 11” 444’s but then got the 12” 444’s (still standard spring) and it mad a whole lot of difference. I have it set to 3 full turns from the base and it’s perfect for solo and 2-up. I think there were instructions to flip the shocks...upside down so that the top would clear. That’s what I did with mine.
