Just a heads up

I have 2 sets of Progressive 412 shocks for sale for a Sportster. They were bought for my wife and sister's '07 1200 Lows. However, because they are Lows and running the Power Commander, the shocks lowered the bike too much and the tire started rubbing the ECM tray. The ECM tray hangs down into the rear fender when running a Power Commander. I don't believe it does so with other setups. You should check just to make sure. We noticed this after the bikes were ridden a couple times. After talking to Progressive, the shocks were sent back to them. Progressive installed a 1""stop" in the shocks which should have taken out a little bit of the travel in the shocks so they could be used. I installed them on my wife's bike, rode it around the block, and it still felt the same. So I put the stock shocks back on. The shocks are pretty much still brand new. Both sets were on the bikes for the same length of time, which wasn't very long because of the rubbing. There was a huge improvement in the ride quality as far as comfort goes. Also, the biked looked much better being lowered. If you're interested in one or both sets, make me an offer. Please check the Progressive website to make sure they fit your bike. The part number for these chrome 412's is 412-4062C.

I have a thread in the Motorcycle Parts For Sale section too. https://www.hdforums.com/m_3008146/tm.htm

What are you looking to get out of these? Give me a ballpark, and I will let you know if I'm interested. Thanks.

What does a one inch stop do?

RE: Just a heads up

It's supposed to take out the last inch of travel. When I rode my wifes bike after installing the shocks with the one inch stop, I didn't notice any difference. That's why I took them back off. The comfort of the ride still felt the same.
