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.
This Progressive Fork Cartridge Kit is a premium upgrade for 2014-2016 Harley-Davidson models, completely replacing the OEM fork internals. It features gas-charged monotube damper cartridges and custom-tuned fork springs, delivering a significant boost in front-end performance. Riders will experience improved brake dive resistance, enhanced stability, and superior cornering capabilities.
For Harley-Davidson owners of 2014-2016 models, this Progressive Fork Cartridge Kit offers a transformative front suspension upgrade. The factory forks, while adequate, often leave room for improvement in terms of control and damping, especially when riding aggressively or encountering varied road conditions. This kit provides a comprehensive solution, ensuring a more planted, predictable, and enjoyable ride.
Progressive has engineered this kit to integrate seamlessly with 2014-2016 Harley-Davidson models, making it a direct-fit performance upgrade. The inclusion of both stock-height and lowered fork springs allows riders to customize their bike's stance and handling characteristics. This means you can achieve a more aggressive, lower profile or maintain the factory ride height, all while benefiting from significantly improved front-end dynamics.
What's included in the kit?
The kit includes a pair of gas-charged monotube damper cartridges and a set of custom-tuned fork springs, available in either stock or lowered height options.
Will this kit fit my 2017 or newer Harley-Davidson?
No, this kit is specifically designed for 2014-2016 Harley-Davidson models. For 2017+ Milwaukee-Eight models, please refer to Progressive's other compatible offerings.
Do I need professional installation for this kit?
Replacing fork internals is a more complex task than basic maintenance and often requires specialized tools. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure proper setup and performance.

These were worse than stock. They were super stiff and rode terribly. I was looking for a softer ride that would soak up the bumps and it did the exact opposite. Would never recommend these to anyone. I am 150lbs for reference.
Unbelievable difference from stock 2014 forks suspension. Progressive monotubes were worth every penny and I shouldve done it last year. Its like riding on a cloud now compared to back jarring pain over every surface irregularity. Dont hesitate, by them and be done with it. Enjoy your
I wanted to get the legends to match the rear i purchased prior however these much less money with great reviews. But almost 400 miles on them and i am very pleased. Much better than stock. No more dipping hard with braking and acceleration.
I personally installed these 1? lower over stock Cartridge Kit in my 2015 Road Glide Special. I also changed my fork lowers to Chrome at the same time. It was a lot of work but SO WORTH IT!! It went from a Cadillac to a Corvette suspension wise. I would do it all over again.
Put them on a 2016 Roadglide special. Huge difference how bumps feel at the handle bars. A week later I put progressive 944’s on the back! Unbelievable! I never would have believed someone if they told me it could make such a difference ! Highly recommend both!
I wasn't satisfied with stock suspension at all. I didn't like the front end dive on my 15 Ultra Limited or the way it chattered over ripples on some of our awful roads. Progressive Shocks eliminated my two biggest gripes with the OEMs. I'm very satisfied. I have not ridden on any other after market suspension so I can't compare these v Ohlins etc. For the money, I'm very happy with this purchase.
