Progressive 494 Sport Series shocks for 1991-2005 Harley Dyna models, built with a high-pressure monotube and deflective disc damping to deliver responsive handling at an accessible price. Hand-adjustable preload and rebound tuning let you dial in the ride for your weight and riding style, while a progressive-rate spring and engineered jounce bumper smooth out impacts across pavement and real-world conditions.
Fits Harley-Davidson Dyna models 1991-2005 with 494 engines.
Yes — set preload by hand to match your weight and riding style, then fine-tune rebound damping with the adjustment knob. Progressive provides tuning guidelines with each shock.
No — this part number is specific to 1991-2005 Dyna 494. Newer Dyna models require different shocks.
Yes, but ride gently until you've set preload and rebound to suit your weight. Progressive recommends bedding in new shocks over the first 50 miles.
The 494 Sport uses proven monotube and damping tech without electronic adjustments, keeping cost down while maintaining responsive handling.

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.
