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.
Unlock superior handling and comfort on your 2006-2017 Harley Dyna with Progressive 494 Sport Series shocks. Engineered with a high-pressure monotube and deflective disc damping, these shocks deliver responsive performance for both street and sport riding. Experience a more stable and controlled ride, enhancing your Dyna's capabilities.

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.
