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.
Unleash the full potential of your Harley-Davidson with Progressive 990 Series shocks. These high-performance monotube dampers offer a level of adjustability that transforms your ride, allowing you to precisely tune your suspension for any condition or riding style. Experience consistent, fade-free performance whether you're cruising the boulevard or carving canyons.
The Progressive 990 Sport series shocks are engineered to give V-twin riders unparalleled control over their bike's handling. Featuring a high-pressure monotube design with deflective disc damping, these shocks deliver consistent performance across the full range of suspension travel. Every aspect of your ride is adjustable, letting you fine-tune the feel to match your weight, riding style, and road conditions.
Gone are the days of a one-size-fits-all suspension. The 990 Series shocks are built for the rider who demands more. From the high-pressure gas monotube construction to the deflective disc damping, every component works in harmony to provide a stable, predictable, and comfortable ride. Pair these with a quality fork upgrade to completely transform your Harley's handling characteristics.
Can I adjust these shocks without special tools?
Yes, the Progressive 990 Series shocks are designed for easy on-bike adjustment. Compression, rebound, and preload can all be fine-tuned using easily accessible knobs and hand-threaded components on the shock body, without needing specialized tools.
How much ride height adjustment is available?
These shocks feature a 0.4-inch adjustable height eyelet, allowing you to subtly fine-tune your bike's stance and handling characteristics to your preference.
Will these shocks improve handling on my Harley-Davidson?
Absolutely. The advanced damping and full adjustability of the Progressive 990 Series shocks significantly improve handling, stability, and ride comfort compared to stock units, allowing you to confidently push your Harley-Davidson harder.

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.
