Frequently Asked Questions

What lengths are available?

Progressive offers the 465 in four sizes: 12.2 in, 12.6 in, 13.1 in, and 13.5 in to adjust ride height in 0.8–1 in increments.

Can I adjust the rebound damping?

Yes — the 5-position rebound adjuster lets you tune the shock to your riding style and load conditions.

Is the 16mm chrome shaft durable?

Yes. The hard chrome shaft rides on custom Viton seals for low friction and a leak-free lifespan.

Do I need to choose Standard or Heavy-Duty spring rate?

Choose based on your typical load and riding preference. Progressive offers both rates with the same 2:1 motion ratio geometry.

Will these shocks fit my Softail if it's not an M8 model?

No — these are engineered specifically for M8 Softail models. Older Softail generations require different shock part numbers.

2019 FXBRS

Installed the 12.2 standard on my 19 Breakout 114.. got a 2” drop from factory before setting sag.. I’ve rode it 80 miles so far.. a little stiff but that’s expected.. I’ll set sag and tweak the rebound and see where she goes.. overall I’m very impressed with this shock for what it it.. we caint all afford air ride . Lol

Improved Ride Height

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.
