Progressive Suspension has focused exclusively on American V-twin suspension since 1982, and its Monotube fork cartridges and 400/970/970G shock series are among the most common upgrades on baggers and Softails. For most riders the stock rear shock is the single worst part on the bike — this is the fix.
Progressive 444 Series shocks are specifically engineered for Indian Scout models, integrating Frequency Sensing Technology (FST) to dynamically adjust damping. This intelligent system adapts to various road conditions, from minor bumps to larger impacts, ensuring a consistently smooth and controlled ride. Hand-adjustable preload allows for easy customization to your riding style.
Transform the ride of your Indian Scout with Progressive 444 Series shocks. These high-performance units feature patented Frequency Sensing Technology (FST) which automatically fine-tunes damping in real time, responding dynamically to road input. The result is a more comfortable and stable ride, whether you're navigating city streets or cruising open highways.
The 444 Series shocks are designed to give Indian Scout riders superior comfort and precise control. With hand-adjustable preload and a choice of standard or heavy-duty spring rates, you can easily set up your suspension to match your weight and preferred riding dynamics. These shocks represent a significant upgrade for any Scout owner looking to enhance their motorcycle's ride quality.
What is Frequency Sensing Technology (FST) and how does it work?
FST dynamically senses bump frequency and automatically adjusts damping ports to absorb small and large impacts smoothly, optimizing your ride comfort.
Do I need special tools to adjust the preload on these shocks?
No, the preload on the Progressive 444 Series shocks is hand-adjustable, allowing you to fine-tune your suspension without any special tools.
Are these shocks suitable for all Indian Scout models?
These shocks are designed for Indian Scout models. Please confirm fitment for your specific year and model using the 'Shop by Bike' tool before ordering.

The shocks seem super nice, but they are incredibly stiff. Turns out they’re 130/200 top to bottom. Would be nice to have an option to choose your spring rate. Couldn’t find it in the description either. Have them installed on a 1998 sportster 1200 by the way. I’m about 180lbs and they don’t move at all, my friend who weighs about 260 also said they were way to firm. Hope this helps.
