Question about installing progressive rear suspension

Post by woodsm84 »

I ordered the 412 (4221-c) rear progressive suspension. Will this bolt on directly while still securing the bracket for the trunk, or is modification necessary?

Hi,woodsm84,While I did not put the 412s on my VXII,I did put there 416s on,and that was a direct remove/reinstall fit. :hmm:
I would think the 412s would also be a direct exchange.

I made no modifications when I put my 412's on my bike. Just make certain to use a locking washer, or medium strength thread lock, or both. Cheers!

No modifications at all. Direct bolt-in. Probably one of, if not the, easiest jobs to do.
