Default Black Progressive Shocks w Cover ?!?

OK guys...

SO, I want to order 11" BLACK Progressive shocks for my
07 street bob.....

SOUNDS Easy enough I know...

BUT

The Black progressives that I see are Different than the ones I see on most of your bikes.
THEY have a LOWER Shock Cover on them also.

The ones on Ebay / and progressives site DO NOT have the Lower Cover...
Example ebay link (with out the bottom cover):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...=p4506.c0.m245

SO, WHAT Do I do ? I like the look of the covers with em.
Do you guys just Powder coat the chrome ones or what ?

Who has the black ones without the bottom cover, post a pic please on your bike
so I can see if that is acceptable...


Help me out guys, this Confused me right at the time I was gonna order... Arggg

When you order the 412s, they come with top and bottom covers. The pics you're looking at are simply designed to show the 'cam' adjuster and how the preload is adjusted.

Incidentally, you can order the upper and lower covers from progressive in either black or chrome.

Will these shocks fit my 09 Street Bob I just called this e-bay store and they are 15 minutes from my house. They do have them in stock and I can pick them up but I wan to make sure they fit first any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't beleive this place is this close, this is going to be great if they will work.

Go to the Progressive website, http://www.progressivesuspension.com/ and look up the proper part number for your bike. Then see if that part number is what the ebay guy has.
