Installing Progressive 412 shocks on rear

Post by Bob in Tucson »

Hey all you guys out there who have changed over to the 412 shocks on the rear of your Xll. I am doing this now because my air shocks are leaking (at 126K). The new shocks are offset at the lower end and can be installed either with the offset to the inside or to the outside. Which way have some of you done it? More specifically have you installed them so that the two shock bodies are closer together or farther apart?

On the Voyager 12 the offset goes closest to the bike, ie, bottoms close together.

Thanks mrgency. I'm sure I could have figured it out, but I figure "why reinvent the wheel".
