Progressive 412 Series Shocks - Harley-Davidson
About Progressive
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 412 Series shocks deliver enhanced suspension performance and adjustability for your Harley-Davidson at an excellent value. Featuring a durable double-wall steel body and multi-stage velocity-sensitive damping, they ensure a smooth ride over rough roads. High-pressure nitrogen gas charging maintains consistent damping performance throughout your ride.

Common questions
Is professional installation required for these shocks?
While many riders with mechanical experience can install these shocks, professional installation is always recommended for proper setup and safety.
How do I choose between standard and heavy-duty springs?
Standard springs suit most solo riders. Heavy-duty springs are generally recommended for heavier riders, frequent two-up riding, or when carrying significant luggage. Confirm fitment with Shop by Bike before ordering.
Will these shocks improve my cornering ability?
Improved damping and proper preload adjustment can significantly enhance stability and control during cornering, contributing to a more confident ride.
