Progressive 412 Shock Preload
I bought a set of Progressive 412 shocks for my Road King, and I'm not sure how to adjust the preload. Based on my research, what makes the biggest difference is not so much the brand or the model, but switching to a standard (not heavy duty) spring and the stock shock length (13" not shorter). So that's what I did.
The standard spring 13" shocks are already a big improvement over stock, and they seem to ride fine with just me on the bike (I weight just over 260) at the first position on the preload adjuster. I know the procedure for measuring the stocks, extended them and then measuring again with the rider on, but I can't do that alone so I'm just experimenting with different settings.
Is anyone else running these shocks? What preload setting are you using?

Ah screw it! These are an improvement over stock. But I also have the Harley Davidson Premium Hand Adjustable Shocks, and I think they are just as good, if not better.
Anyone want to buy a set of 412's for $200 plus shipping?
