Rear shocks
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 412s. 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 ______( cant 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 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.
