One pair of "gently used"  Progressive 412-4223 rear shocks (only a  few months - <4,000 mi).  I'm 250lbs and 2-up these ride nice.

 

I believe that these are in the  $220+USD range new.  Would  ~$100 + shipping or ??  (PayPal, or hand-delivery preferred, especially if I can ride there :12blue:)

 

These are NOT air-shocks... Great for a non-air equipped 1500 or a 1500 moving away from air.  Image & text below are totally stolen from the web ;) I'll try to get a photo of the actual shocks if I can get home in the day-light ...

 



Web says :blushing::

The 412 Series shocks are simply the best value shock there is on the market today. The 412’s simple, durable design means they will be an improvement to your motorcycle’s suspension performance for miles to come.

The double wall steel body construction with nitrogen charged, multi-staged velocity sensitive valving gives you smooth, consistent damping. A five position cam style preload adjuster lets you dial in your ride whether you’re a light rider or heavy hitter.
  •   *  All steel double wall damper with multistage velocity sensitive damping
  •   *  Five position cam style preload adjuster
  •   *  Heavy-duty progressive rate springs (Chrome)

Not enough time has passed... I will need to do some research. Why did you change?

Long story:
The 412's are nice and provide a firm ride, but don't adjust as easily as the air-shocks. I'm single, and use my GL for commuting and/or pleasure rides; so I go from 1-up empty to 2-up & loaded several times a week. The 416's tollerate that well and I didn't really "miss" the flick-of-a-switch adjustability from the OEM shocks.

Well, everything was nice for the few thousand miles until a "friend" offered me a set of 416s with a leaky oil seals... now I can kinda have the air adjustability and the firmness of reasonable shocks/springs.

Anyone have some spare year-end money to invest to firm-up their rear end?
