this item is a single shock but made to look like two shocks in ad photo. Did not install because of this, as my style of riding is probably much more aggressive than average rider. I require stability and this appears to be anything but stable

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this come with lowering options?
Yes — the cartridge kit installs in either 1-inch or 2-inch lowering drop to match your desired ride height.
Will this fit my older Softail with 39mm forks?
No — this kit is designed for 2017+ Softail models with 49mm front ends only.
What is Frequency Sensing Technology (FST)?
FST is Progressive's damping system that responds to road bumps and braking forces separately, smoothing small ripples while maintaining control over larger impacts.

This is a bolt-in suspension upgrade that requires no engine tuning or frame modifications.
Can I adjust the preload after installation?
Yes — the preload adjuster allows you to fine-tune spring tension without removing the cartridge.

Best Upgrade Suspension for the money?.
So I had the suspension rebuilt on my Harley Heritage after OEM seals busted with only 6800 miles. I decided to purchase the Progressive Monotube suspension and I have to say what major difference while on a group ride. I felt the responsive and balanced compared to the original OEM suspension. The I immediately felt the wheels snugged to the pavement and while taking corners without any problems. I'm super stoked about the new suspension.
Pending install
Haven?t had the chance to install yet, it looks like it will do what?s intended for, only concern I have is it looks like there a part missing if anyone can chime in and let me know from the pic. That?s why only 4 stars.
