Progressive 412's leaking
Progressive 412's leaking
I'm running Progressive 412 11" rear shocks on my 2006 XL1200C. Got back from an 800km ride last weekend and now my right shock is leaking. I didn't know what it was at first when I saw the oil all over my fender but after closer inspection I saw that the shock absorber was greasy. Have any of you run into this problem?
Anyway, the shock absorbers are past the 1 year warranty offered by Progressive...and there's no rebuild kit for the 412 series...so now I'm stuck with having to shell out some $ for new rear shocks. The problem is that I like the Progressives but I've barely put 17,000km on them so I'm worried this may happen again. I'm short so I need a low rear shock...should I just go with the 412's again or look at something different...maybe Burly...??
Let me know what you have out there.
Thanks.

Here are a couple of options that may last longer. I'm running 412's as well, but haven't noticed any problems yet.
Hagon Shocks
Works Shocks
Both a little more than the 412's.
