416 air shocks
«

Bought my bike with air shocks..I'm pretty sure they are progressive 416's..no stickers on them..they have been leaking a little for awhile..now they ride super stiff like there is too much air pressure..but there isn't , so I'm thinking that's what they ride like when they are completely out of atf fluid..I called progressive and they told me they are out of any rebuild parts..So does anyone have a rebuild kit sitting around for sale or maybe even some used air shocks they'd like to part with? TIA

You'll want to make sure which model you have. But the kits can be purchased on Amazon or Ebay fairly easily.

Doing the job does require the tool

I've repaired two sets and it's fairly straight forward.
Hope that helps.

Use Progressive Suspension Seals (Part #30-5041). If un-
available, Honda seals (Honda code 1062975 or 1534627)
may be substituted.
search for these progressive instructions Inst # 3068, 3068-100, and 3068-101 Rev D, 7108-003 REV D WORK INSTR, 416 SHOCK ASSEMBLY.
this is the air hose kit that is recommended by progressive.

Jersey, when you rebuilt your shocks did they get to the point that they had no travel at all left in them..kinda thinking there might be more going on here
