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.
Refine your Harley Milwaukee-Eight Softail's ride with Progressive 465 Series R.A.P. shocks. These high-performance units deliver superior handling, featuring a 46mm high-pressure monotube design and hand-tuned damping.
Transform your M8 Softail's ride with the Progressive 465 Series R.A.P. shocks. Engineered with a robust 46mm high-pressure monotube design, these shocks provide consistent, fade-free damping for improved control and stability. The remote adjustable preload and five-position rebound damping allow for quick, tool-free adjustments, letting you dial in your suspension to match your riding style, passenger load, or road conditions.
Each Progressive 465 Series R.A.P. shock is meticulously hand-built, tuned, and dyno-tested to ensure optimal performance right out of the box. Whether you're looking to improve cornering, enhance ride comfort, or simply achieve a more aggressive look, these shocks provide the adjustability and robust construction to meet your demands. For a complete suspension overhaul, consider pairing these with a Progressive front end upgrade.

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.
