Common questions
Are these shocks easy to adjust on the fly?
Yes, both the preload and rebound damping on these Progressive 494 Sport Series shocks are designed for easy, hand-threaded adjustments, allowing you to fine-tune your ride without special tools.
Will these shocks fit my 2010 Harley Dyna or newer?
No, these shocks are specifically designed for 2006-2009 Harley-Davidson Dyna models. Later model years utilize different rear suspension setups and would require a different shock.
What is the benefit of the progressive rate coil spring?
The progressive rate coil spring provides a softer initial travel for comfort over small bumps, and then stiffens up deeper into the stroke to prevent bottoming out during larger impacts or when carrying heavier loads.
