Progressive 412, 418, or 440?
Wise Friends,
I have an 07 FXDC, most of my rides to work, are around town, or day trips (Texas Hill Country).
I'm 160lbs and my wife rides with me sometimes (she's 100lbs).
I want a lowered rear end for the look but I want to keep as much handling and comfort as possible.
Thanks,
Rick

I have 1" shorter Progressives in the Standard with one of their fork kits to lower the front.I'm about 200 pounds. I'll lift my butt off the seat for speed bumps or real rough spots other than that they are fine. It handles a lot better than stock and the fork kit eliminated fork dive. I also put on a Superbracefork brace on and that really helped tighten up the handling although I have the 39mm forks on my 94' FXDL. Your fork tubes are stouter than mine.

Oh, I think they are 412s. They look like normal exposed spring Dyna shocks and are adjustable. It has been a few years since I put them on and the model numbers escape me.
