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.
The Progressive 944 Ultra Low QPS Shocks are engineered for Harley-Davidson Touring models, offering a lowered stance without compromising ride quality. These shocks feature Frequency Sensing Technology (FST) to automatically adjust damping, ensuring a consistent and comfortable ride. The Quik Preload System (QPS) allows for effortless preload adjustments in seconds, even with saddlebags installed.

Will installing these shocks require me to remove my saddlebags for adjustment?
No, the Quik Preload System (QPS) is specifically designed to allow preload adjustments in seconds without needing to remove your saddlebags, offering maximum convenience.
Do these shocks provide a softer ride than stock?
These shocks feature Frequency Sensing Technology (FST) and Progressive Rate main springs tuned for touring, which work together to automatically adjust damping and provide a more controlled and comfortable ride than many stock setups, especially with a lowered stance.
What is the benefit of Frequency Sensing Technology (FST)?
FST automatically adjusts the damping of the shocks based on the frequency of bumps, ensuring optimal ride quality and control by adapting to various road conditions without manual intervention.

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.
