I'm planning this switch for my 750. Haven't done so yet, so can't speak from experience. But I researched the 412s some months ago. I recall there are only two types for the rear --- Regular and Heavy Duty.
Their site says "Heavy Duty Applications are recommended for bikes that are operated at or near the manufacturer’s maximum load rating over 50% of the time." -- meaning if you regularly ride two-up, carry a lot of baggage, or weigh 200+, the HD version is the way to go. Careful when pricing these. Super cheap probly means shocks only (no springs included) which means you'll need to purchase springs separately and put them together yourself (got a spring compressor?). Complete kits (w/springs) go for about $250 +/- http://www.progressivesuspension.com On Mar 14, 4:18 pm, Kurt Nolte <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings all! > > I'm on another round of "Buy parts for the 650" in preparation for it's > tear-down rebuild.
