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.

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.
