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.
Drop your Harley-Davidson Touring model by 2 inches with Progressive 944 Ultra Low shocks, designed to give you that aggressive stance without compromising ride quality. These shocks integrate advanced technology to deliver a compliant and controlled experience.
The Progressive 944 Ultra Low shocks are the go-to choice for riders seeking a significantly lower ride height on their Harley Touring.

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.
