Default progressive shocks

Does anyone have any info on progressive shocks for the sporty ? I think I read somewhereabout a # 412 kit. They said it made the bike handle much better.

Default RE: progressive shocks

I don't know about specific model numbers but everyone I know that's in-the-know won't use anything but Progressive for their bikes. They say the price is well worth it and that they are way better than even upgrade HD shocks. Don't know myself cause I can't afford them yet.

here is a link to the 412's:

progressive suspension

I have the 11" Heavy duty 412's on the rear and the progessive fork springs in front and it made a world of difference with handling.
