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 944 Ultra Low QPS Shocks are engineered to give your Harley Touring or Softail a custom lowered look while maintaining exceptional ride quality. With Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), damping automatically adjusts to road conditions, ensuring a smooth and controlled experience. The Quik Preload System (QPS) allows for rapid, tool-free preload adjustments, perfect for switching between solo and two-up riding.
Achieve that aggressive, slammed profile without sacrificing comfort or control on your Harley. These Progressive 944 Ultra Low QPS Shocks are a game-changer for V-twin riders seeking both style and performance. The intelligent design means your suspension is always optimized for the road ahead, reacting to bumps and load changes seamlessly. Enjoy a more connected feel to the road and enhanced stability through turns.
Whether you're embarking on a cross-country tour or just heading out for a local cruise, these shocks are built to perform. The ability to quickly adapt your suspension to different loads and riding conditions means you'll always have the ideal setup. Experience reduced rider fatigue and increased confidence, knowing your Harley's suspension is working smarter, not just harder.
Can I adjust the preload on these shocks without removing my saddlebags?
Yes, the Quik Preload System (QPS) is designed for exactly that. You can adjust the preload in under a minute using an 8mm socket wrench, without having to take off your saddlebags.
How much will these shocks lower my Harley?
These Progressive 944 Ultra Low QPS Shocks are designed to lower your Harley Touring or Softail model approximately 2 inches from its stock ride height on most models.
What is Frequency Sensing Technology (FST)?
FST is an innovative feature that automatically adjusts the shock's damping based on the frequency of road bumps, providing a consistently smooth and controlled ride by adapting to changing road conditions.

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.
