RE: progressive shocks
The heavy duty versions are a bit harsh when it's just me and the pavement is bad. But when loaded with a passenger or a full load of camping gear, it's a smooth/firm ride. You can't have it both ways with 412's.

RE: progressive shocks
One of my brothers rides an '01 FXD with the 12" HD 412's; he's 300lbs.....
When I hop on with my skinny 190lb carcass it's pretty harsh, even at the lowest pre-load. I'd probably go with the std 412's were I you.....in 12".
