Default Installed Some Progressive 812 Flame Series Today

Installed some Progressive 11" 812 flame series with chrome springs this morning. Install was a snap with a hydraulic jack. It took longer to clean off the Progressive sticker goo residue than it did to install the shocks.

Attached a lousy picture inside my garage. It's dark and rainy out. Better pics and a ride evaluation coming soon.

Whats the difference between 412s and 812s? How's the clearance with the WG? How's the ride? I want to lower my 08 WG, but do not want to sacrifice ride or chance any rubbing on the fender. I hardly ever ride two-up.

They are 11", so there's 1" of shortening, so to speak. They are the same progressive rate as the 412 series. VERY comfy ride and no rubbing whatsoever.
