Progressive 494 Sport Series Shocks - 2006-2017 Harley Dyna
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.
The Progressive 494 Sport Series shocks are engineered for 2006-2017 Harley Dyna models, delivering consistent performance across diverse riding conditions. Built on a high-pressure monotube with deflective disc damping, these shocks offer a responsive and controlled ride.

Common questions
Can I adjust the preload and rebound myself?
Yes, Progressive designed these shocks with hand-threaded preload adjustment and adjustable rebound damping, allowing you to easily tune your ride without special tools as your bike's load or riding style changes.
Will these shocks fit my specific Dyna model?
These shocks are specifically designed for 2006-2017 Harley-Davidson Dyna models. Please use our Shop by Bike tool to confirm compatibility with your exact model before ordering.
What is the benefit of a high-pressure monotube design?
