Default Anyone put on Progressive 412s ?

I’ve noticed a lot of guys put the 440s on and never mess with the settings that much. I’ve been considering the heavy duty 412s - 12”. Any thoughts?

I used the 412's and am very happy with. I also went the heavy duty models and have them on second setting. Mine are 12" on 2005 Electra Glide, they ride and handle better then stock airshocks by far.

440,s are kinda like Monroe Sensatrac's they automatically compensate for roads condition and they have a polished aluminum body. The 412's are chrome steel springs on a steel body and they do not automatically adjust to the road conditions.......this is a very simplafied answer. Go to Progressive's web sight for more technical description.[8D]
