Default Progressive Shocks

Hi. Long time viewer but, first time submitting a question. I want to buy some new lowering shocks for my 2007 classic. I am looking at purchasing the progressive 412's because, they are cheaper than the progressive440's and Harleys lowered shocks. If any body has the progressive 412's can you give me some pros and cons?

Thanks.

Cain t say anything about the 412's but I was patent and was able to buy a used set of 12" 440's for 125.00 plus shipping off eBay, took about 6 months of steady watching. The one complaint I have about the 440's is a lack off control on the rebound I understand the works shocks don't have this problem but I'm cheep so I will stay with my 440's

I have a set of 412s on my road Glide. They are the 11.5 inch shock. Like the ride but when adding the tour pack and loading up I do get some rubbing on the fender when hitting hard bumps on the highway. Will be looking to sell these and going to the 12 or 12.5 inch shocks. If you are interested in these let me know.
