Question about Progressive 412's
Hey, Have a 2006 LowRider with the SE 180 Tire, looks like enough clearance to lower it an inch with the \\; 412 Progresives. They are 11". \\;  \\;Stockers are 12"
Any suggestions using the 412 heavy vs the Regular 412's? I weigh about 180lbs and do 99% solo.
Thanks and all replies welcome.

RE: Question about Progressive 412's
I just put the 412's on my Low rider about a month ago, and have to say I love them. I would go with the HD 11', you never know if you want to ride 2 up later, or if you decide to take a trip and have to carry a few items in the back.. just my thought..

+1 on that thought - its going to be expensive if you go standard and then find you want HD later on. \\; Since it makes no diference in fitting etc. you got room to grow.

RE: Question about Progressive 412's
I will play the Devil's advocate, and recommend going with the 418" or even Works Performance shocks.
I may be in the minority, but I was not impressed with the 412's when I had them on my Sportster.
While they were a bit better than the stock Sporty shocks, thats not saying much....stock Sportster shocks SUCK!
Maybe I just got a bad pair, but the ride and build quality of the 412's were not what they were cracked up to be,
If you are going to spend the money on new shocks to lower or just upgrade.... skip the 412"s
