Very Nice. Not only do they look good, but the black finish really looks awesome. Been thinking about 412s myself..

Looks great! Lowered the wife's 2008 S.B. with the 412's front and back. Her bike rides better than my stock Lowrider.

How do you have Progressive 412's FRONT and BACK? You must have a crazy looking front end on that bike.

Default 412 or 440? H-D or standard?

The Scoot seems to handle and corner much smoother now and the ride quality seems to wife and I to be much improved. Before and after images attached. Happy I made the mod.

Hi Gary,

2009 FXDL - Last Year of the Legend?

I believe FXDC-10 stands for FXDL-09.

Height-wise & Chrome-wise anyways...

Default Progressive Suspension Installed

Amnon,
On my 2009 FXDC I installed the 412's they are not quite as heavy duty as the 440's as I recall. Very happy with the present setup.

Minus 27 F. with 6 inches if snow....and I'm suffering from riding withdrawal.

Thanks Gary,

Can't make up my mind: 412/440

I'll keep thinking for a while.

I've never been to -27 F (= -33 C )

Hang in there...
