Help identifying Progressive Shocks...
Hello All!
My 08 FLHTC has Progressive shocks installed from the previous owner. The set up doesn't seen right for me and I was trying to research what model shocks he installed. I have looked and cannot seem to see any type of model number on them. Am I just missing it? My dealer told me the previous owner was a "Little Guy" and I am sure he had these shocks spec'ed to his riding weight. I do know they are 11" eyelet to eyelet so he did lower the rear by 2". I do like the look of it and I am liking the lower rear but def am bottoming out WAY too much. If I could identify them at least that would be a starting point to see which model to move too. Currently I moved the pre-load to wide open which seems a bit better than when I picked it up (he had them the second from the tightest pre-load) again seems a bit better to me..maybe more travel before bottoming? I will most likely address this over the offseason due to the fact I am not blessed with year round riding weather, unless I add a set of skis to the front! Maybe move to Ohlin's?? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Ride safe!

The look like the 412's that I have. They do come in a standard spring or a heavy spring. Of course I cant tell from the pics which spring you have but I have heard of some that sent the shock back to Progressive for a spring change at a reasonable cost.
That's what makes this forum a beautiful thing!! An option I hadn't even thought about! Sending them back for a spring replacement sure as hell beats buying new ones! Thanks Guys! A call to Progressive is in the future!
