I like my 412s, especially riding 2 up. Much smoother ride with my wife on the bike than before. But then my stock shocks had about 36,000 miles on them when they were replaced, so there wasn't much life left in them.
Are the 440s twice as good as the 412s since they cost twice as much...Who knows? Really I wish I could've ridden all the shocks and then made a decision which one to buy, but that's just not possible unless you want to get into return shipping and restock fees. Plus some dealers will throw out their big NO RETURNS sign at you.
Maybe during the Georgia Rally we can get some good comparisons...if the guys get into some bike swapping.
