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.

Experience a perfect blend of a lowered stance and full suspension travel with Progressive 944 Series Ultra Touring shocks for Harley-Davidson Touring models. These shocks provide a 1-inch drop in ride height while maintaining the comfort and control you need for long hauls.
