Rear Shocks Install and Upgrade for Harley Davidson Sportster 1200

Thanks @RazzInMiami for suggesting this very much needed rear shock upgrade for my 1997 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200. These Progressive 412 shocks are 13" with heavy duty springs which raised the rear fender about an inch or two.

[@npaisnel]

What model were they? Just looking at doing mine... but do I spend big $$$ and buy the External reservoir 990’s or stick with a more basic 430. Did the ride improve ?

[@twistygrip4180]

They look great! Nice of the manufacturer to provide a small amount of Preparation H with the new shocks......must have been expensive....... ;)))))

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

hahahhaahahahaha, I saved the rest for a future flair up!

[@elcapitan83]

Thanks for the video! 👍🏻 may I ask which handlebars you have on your ride? Thanks

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Scott LaLiberte hi Scott. Thanks for the nice comment. The harley was sold a while back. I think it was the stock bars. Hope you are subscribed

[@DRFOX55]

I forgive you for that HD. And I watched to support more offroad Adventures lol 😂

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Scotty thanks Drf, You know you like it!

[@Dude_Virus]

How much ground clearance did it increase on the bike.? I want to change mine, it scrapes on the speed bumps.

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Maybe an inch, but now I dont bottom out.

[@Mitchcay]

wondering what's the torque setting for the screws? thank you

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

No idea man. Sorry

[@ish2000]

I did what he did and just made my own clicking noise. (Tick tick)

[@IvanDP86]

Buen brico, no es de relevancia en un amortiguador, pero le quedan chulos en color negro. 👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Iván D.P. Si Ivan. Me gustaría que el resto de la moto sería negra. Thanks for watching! 🍺

[@HawkGirlMistyV]

It's nice not to bottom out, have fun! :)

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Hawk Girl my spine agrees. 😂

[@twowheeldawg1190]

Nice! How much better did the 1200 ride?

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Still a Harley feel, but no more bottoming out. I like them.

[@coyote102076]

So in other words, still like shit. HAHAHAHA!!! My one gripe with my XLC1200, the harsh ride!

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

COYOTE ADVENTURES lol 💩

[@everythinggaming7938]

You didnt get it torked down ?

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Oh yeah

[@harleyflfbsflip8747]

I was noticed your mechanic piled tools and parts on the seat and clanged the shocks together removing them from the box.

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Phillip Carrico and?

[@harleyflfbsflip8747]

looked unprofessional. sloppy. What to think about that.

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Phillip Carrico maybe search for a more professional installation video. I'm sure there are some out there. Good luck.

[@tom00025]

Who cares?

[@bernardlesperance742]

I hope that's not grease you put on the bolts. Loctite is what should go there. Very different thing.

[@Dyna_Dan13]

I’m so sick of KZbin videos being so easy with bolts coming right out and going back in…

[@FloridaOutdoorAdv]

Lol

[@Dyna_Dan13]

@@FloridaOutdoorAdv it’s never that simple for me haha. Just got progressives for my 06 Dyna…
