I installed the Progressive 11" 412 shocks and drop in fork springs on my 09 Street Bob today. The install took about an hour an a half and was very easy. The bike has a much stiffer ride but handles and brakes much better in my opinion. I am 6'1" and 200LBS. and did not experience any bottoming out. I rode on some pretty rough roads and the bike was fine. I did; however, slow down more than I did with the stock suspension.

Overall, I am very happy with the suspension set up and I would recomend it to anyone looking for better handling and performance.

 

Looks good man!

 

nice and slammed bro...looks good...how much did you lower the front

 

Good for you,I won't get to feel my 11.5" 440's till the spring ,but handling is what I'm after. I'm tired of feeling like someone just slapped me on the shoulder every time i hit a bump while taking a curve .

 

Thanks guys, I cut the PVC spacer to an inch in lenght lowering the front end two inches.

 

looks good.. been looking at doing the same, this confirms it..thanks

 

Looks good

 

Sick man! Looks damn good. I wanna get those drop in springs. Good bang for your buck!

 

I forgot to note that my shocks are the HD spring rate. I am still playing around with the preload settings to figure out which one feels right.

 

Looks great ! Is it hard to do the front ? You bought the progrssive kit ?
