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 for Indian Scout motorcycles incorporate proprietary Frequency Sensing Technology (FST) to dynamically adjust damping. This system ensures a plush, controlled ride by adapting to varying road conditions in real time, from minor road imperfections to larger bumps. Riders can also fine-tune their setup with hand-adjustable preload.
Enhance the ride quality of your Indian Scout with Progressive 444 Series shocks. These shocks are engineered with Frequency Sensing Technology (FST) that dynamically adjusts damping based on road conditions, providing a consistently smooth and controlled experience. The combination of advanced technology and customizable features makes these shocks an essential upgrade for any Scout owner seeking improved performance and comfort.
The Progressive 444 Series shocks offer a tailored riding experience for your Indian Scout. With easy-to-use hand-adjustable preload and the option of standard or heavy-duty spring rates, you can customize your suspension to perfectly match your weight, riding style, and the demands of the road. Invest in these shocks to unlock your Scout's full potential for comfort and handling.
Do I need special tools to adjust preload?
No — the top mount threaded adjuster is hand-adjustable. Simply twist the cap to fine-tune spring preload for your riding preference.
How does Frequency Sensing Technology work?
FST senses bump frequency and dynamically routes oil through different ports to optimize damping for both small and large impacts, providing a consistent ride.
Are these shocks compatible with all Indian Scout models?
These shocks are designed for Indian Scout models. Always verify fitment with 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.
