I would sure like to hear how those work out for you as I have been considering getting the same thing for my 2010 Ultra. I ride solo 100 percent of the time and have removed my tour pack. I'm 5'7 and used lowering blocks for several years. When I purchased new strut covers I removed the lowering blocks because the change of angle caused one shock to rub. I thought the 12 1/2 412's might be a good compromise. I have been holding off replacing the stock shocks hoping I could buy a better shock but the 412's really fit my budget the best.

My Dad and I recently installed 13 inch Progressive 412's on our Electra Glides, but we can't try them out till April. Winter sucks ***. Our stock air shocks wouldn't hold any air at all.

Well, I guess I'm not going to be dropping it because the kit I bought does not fit the '09 FLHX but the '10-'11. Guess I should have read the fine print a little closer. It's going up in the classifieds here in a few minutes.

Ok, so I'm biggish at 225 and my old Lady is not a skinny minnie (around 200), I have to air up to a full 35psi to keep from bottoming out when we go 2 up with weekend gear, but the shocks are usually an everyday refill, so they need to be replaced anyways.
Are there any other folks out there that have the 412 HDs and might be a little heavier load like me and the OL?
I was actually thinking about the HD shocks, I ride solo about 75% of the time, but when I go out with the OL it would be nice to have a shock that I do not have to mess with.
