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 465 Series shocks are high-pressure gas monotube units engineered for Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight Softail models. These shocks feature a 46mm bore with deflective disc damping and a 5-position rebound adjuster, allowing for precise tuning of your ride. Each shock is hand-built and dyno-tested to ensure optimal performance and quality.

Installed the 12.2 standard on my 19 Breakout 114.. got a 2 drop from factory before setting sag.. Ive rode it 80 miles so far.. a little stiff but thats expected.. Ill set sag and tweak the rebound and see where she goes.. overall Im very impressed with this shock for what it it.. we caint all afford air ride . Lol
Installed the 13.5 heavy duty in my 2019 slim. It has given me about an inch of extra clearance. Now I have to be really be pushing it to scrape the floor boards.
Outstanding fit and finish. Fits like a glove and the owner was able to place her feet flat on the ground.
