Progressive's web site lists the 11-1527 springs for a '10 1200X. You're good to go:

Thread from the dead, I know. But I'm getting ready to put the progressive 11-1527 kit in my Nightster. Not having any experience with different fluids seems like ATF is readily available but not listed in the chart included in this thread. Anyone using ATF? Anything specific I need to look for? Rickss69 what do you use?
