At 1st, I went with the progressive standard sportster shocks trying to keep costs down. Later, I was able to pick up 418's in the next stiffer spring rate. I chose the 11" shocks to keep the low seat height and they offer a longer travel so you can set a softer preload and not bottom out. I weigh about 250 decked out in my gear and I had a preload of 4 on the stock shocks. On the 412's, I had them on the max setting. The 418's were perfect out of the box so I don't know what they are set on, minimum I would guess.
The 412's are better than the stock shocks and the 418's are better than the 412's.
At superslab speeds, the road I travel is a challenge to the stock shocks and my back. I had names for every bump, none of them pleasant. Only 3 remain and the names have changes to something less derogatory and I do sit through them now.
