Frequently Asked Questions

What does Remote Adjustable Preload (R.A.P.) mean?

R.A.P. lets you adjust spring preload by hand using a knob on the shock body — no tools needed to fine-tune ride height and handling.

Can I adjust rebound damping?

Yes — the 5-position rotatable rebound adjuster lets you dial in how quickly the shock compresses and extends to match your riding style.

Which shock length should I order?

Available lengths are 12.2, 12.6, 13.1, and 13.5 inches. Length choice affects ride height; consult Progressive's fitment chart or contact us for your preferred height.

Are these hand-assembled?

Yes — each shock is hand-built, individually tuned, and dyno-tested before shipment to ensure consistent performance.

What's the warranty?

Progressive backs these with a Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects.

Stiff

The shocks seem super nice, but they are incredibly stiff. Turns out they’re 130/200 top to bottom. Would be nice to have an option to choose your spring rate. Couldn’t find it in the description either. Have them installed on a 1998 sportster 1200 by the way. I’m about 180lbs and they don’t move at all, my friend who weighs about 260 also said they were way to firm. Hope this helps.
