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.
Unleash the full potential of your 2006-2009 Harley-Davidson Dyna with Progressive 494 Sport Series shocks. Engineered for performance, these shocks provide superior handling and ride comfort whether you're cruising or pushing the limits in the canyons. Experience a noticeable upgrade in control and stability for a more confident ride.
These Progressive 494 Sport Series shocks are specifically designed for 2006-2009 Harley Dyna models, transforming your bike's ride. Built around a high-pressure monotube with deflective disc damping, they deliver consistent performance and responsive feedback. The progressive rate spring ensures smooth travel across varied road conditions, absorbing impacts without harshness.
The 494 Sport Series shocks are a direct bolt-on upgrade for your 2006-2009 Dyna, designed to integrate seamlessly with your bike's geometry. Their lightweight aluminum body reduces unsprung weight, further enhancing handling. Riders seeking to uncork their Dyna's performance will appreciate the ability to fine-tune both preload and rebound for a truly personalized riding experience.
Are these shocks compatible with my 2010 Harley Dyna?
No, these Progressive 494 Sport Series shocks are specifically designed for 2006-2009 Harley Dyna models. Later models use different shock mounts.
Can I adjust the preload and rebound without special tools?
Yes, both preload and rebound damping adjustments on these shocks are hand-adjustable, allowing you to fine-tune your ride on the fly without tools.
Will installing these shocks change my bike's ride height?
These shocks are designed to replace your factory units and maintain a similar ride height when properly adjusted. Preload adjustments can subtly affect ride height.

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.
