Progressive Shocks
11/22/05 at 09:00:37
 
I just got my newest ebay aquisition...a set of 12.5" Progressive 418's...almost new with just under 1000 miles on them.  I got them from a guy whose Harley had fallen over while parked and the fall damaged one shock slightly...as seen in pic.  His insurance paid for a new set so he sold these on ebay.  I PAID $125 + shp...and these shocks go for $400-500 retail.
I love ebay.

I will update when I get them mounted.

Merry Christmas to me!!




Are these beautiful or what??!!


The shock on the right is the damaged one, top of the black coil spring, small light area is the damaged spot....very small and will only need a touch of paint to cover it.

Sweet!  I bought the 412's because I didn't want to spring for the 418's but those should be an awesome ride and that deal is better than the price for 412's.  Congratulations!

Hey Lancer

Progressive wound springs on your Progressive shocks.

Is that damping adjustment I see before Me ?, Compression, rebound or combined ?

It is my understanding that the little adjuster controls both, but I am not positive just yet.  I need to get a complete set of instructions because there were not any in the box.

The pictures were taken with the shocks on a straight backed chair.

This is what they look like on the bike.
