Curious about options for rear shocks for my 86 wide glide, I installed progressive 412 4013C a few years back and one is already squirting fluid everywhere. I've been searching on line and not much comes up.
thanks

 

Send them back in, and have them rebuilt. warranty is on 1 years on them, but will be cheaper than having to buy an complete new set.

Myself, not hard to pull the stock OEM shocks apart to rebuild them, change the fluid weight if you want them to be different dampened, and lets face it, the seals in the OEM stock shocks (that you can get parts to rebuild them), last decades before they have leak problem themselves.

 

I replaced the OEM Shocks on my ‘85 FXRS with Progressive 412’s. When one of them snapped off where the “ mounting ring” is welded to the shock body, couple years later, I called Progressive to ask.. WTF.??
The tech I spoke to advised me “ you should have bought our Model ______( can’t remember which one he recommended but it was their highest price shock at that time). I told him No Thanks. Had a set of Pro-Action shocks installed at Bikeweek-Daytona and highly recommend them. Easily tuneable to get the best ride..👍.

 

I never had an issue with Progressive shocks, worth the time to give them a call and see what they offer, good luck.

 

I see you're in Ct, where?
I've got 2 sets, black OEM and a chrome off my 94.
Want them? Free, just pick them up.
I'm in 06611.
The OEM's only have 200 miles, the chrome have 600.
Then i went to air shocks.

 

Are you in the Bridgeport/trumble area? I'm on the RI line, but do have to travel to Sikorsky on occasion.

Did the ride of the air shocks feel better?
