    Guys

    I've read bits and pieces about the 412 series on here, thought i might just putr my comments out there for others looking to try them out. I swapped my stock springs on my 09 Nightster about 2 months ago for the 11" HD 412 series Progressive springs.

    Few differences i noticed good and not to bad:

    - Bumpier roads seem to handle alot smoother
    - Hard bumps or sudden bumps are alot more jerky on the bike
    - The nightster is noticably moore comfortable to sit on
    - With the lowering of the back the bike looks like it should

    I would be interested to see if anyone else out there has any other feed back on them and what they think

    Cheers Luke

    Obiwan: i got a mate who has just changed his front springs and had a go on the weekend, and could really feel an amazing difference. Looks like i'll be grabbing some of those. Tidy ride to mate

    mintpaul: havent riden 2up yet, was a bit concerned i would loose my mrs off the back if i hit something hard. Havent heard any feedback on that either mate. The only guy i know who has them never rides 2up

    I had the 412's on my dyna, and rode 2 up a couple of times with the missus (about 70kg) wound up the preload 2 clicks and it was fine.

    Just remember to wind them back down again for solo or it's a pretty harsh ride.
