Default Blew out a 412...

Well took the bike out with the new 11" 412s and had one blew out spritzing oil on the rear of the bike.

I like the low ride, so I think I will try struts to check the feel then maybe get a seat with springs.
Got some 12" struts to try if I like I will make some 9"s or 10"s I figure that is around long the 11" shocks are when I am on the bike.

Oh yeah, they busted my azz a few time when I took it out yesterday.

They were only the standard not the heavy duty, they were for a Dyna so I am going to see if Progressive will warranty it if so I got a bud that weighs less and he said he may take them.

I will probably get some HD 412s unless I like the struts and decide to go spring seat.

Rat ...

Hate to hear that about the Progressives ..... they looked really good on your bike. I would think they should make good on them as they were new. I must say that I cant wait to see the pics with the struts!!
