Progressive 422 shocks for Harley-Davidson Softail with remote adjustable preload (RAP) system mounted behind the left passenger peg. High-pressure monotube design delivers consistent damping while allowing riders to tune preload on the fly for passenger weight or load changes without tools.
Fits Harley-Davidson Softail models 1988-1999.
RAP (Remote Adjustable Preload) is a dial adjuster mounted behind the left passenger peg that lets you tune shock preload without removing the shocks — perfect for passenger weight or cargo changes.
Yes — these shocks are adjustable from stock height down to 2 inches lower, giving you ride-height customization.
No — this part number is for 1988-1999 Softail chassis. 2000-up models require different shocks.
Heavy Duty valving is tuned for heavier loads and aggressive riding, while Standard is for typical street use. Both have the RAP system.
Most riders adjust preload when adding a passenger, carrying luggage, or when ride feel changes. The RAP system makes these tweaks quick and tool-free.

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.
