Progressive 412 vs 440's
Has anyone here actually ridden with both of these shocks (progressive heavy duty 412's and heavy duty 440's)?
The price difference is huge. Any late model Sportster rider have the chance to try both?
Love to hear from a couple of folks...

Pap, while I cannot comment on the 412s I have 13.5" 440 standards on my 2007 1200C and have about 9,000 miles on them and can only say good things. Gone is the squat on acceleration, gone is the rear end steer on bumps in turns and most important of all gone is the spine jarring on every bump. The rear wheel can actually follow the contour of the road. The only change I might make would be to 13" as the 13.5s let the bottom shock bolt lightly touch the top muffler when up on the jack, it has never touched it wile riding though. The 13 inchers actually have slightly more shock travel at 3.18" vs 3.04 for the 13.5s.
