Frequently Asked Questions
What does Frequency Sensing Technology (FST) do?
FST senses bump frequency and automatically adjusts damping — the shocks compress differently for small road imperfections versus large impacts, giving you a smoother overall ride.
Can I adjust the preload myself?
Yes. The top-mount threaded preload adjuster twists by hand — no special tool or air gun needed.
Are these available in different spring rates?
Yes. Progressive offers standard and heavy duty spring rate versions to match your bike's weight and riding style.
Do these shocks need professional installation?
Installation complexity varies by Harley model. Many riders handle it themselves with basic hand tools; consult the instruction manual or a technician if you're unsure.
What's the warranty?
Limited Lifetime Warranty covering manufacturer defects. See Progressive's warranty terms for exclusions and claim procedures.
