About Progressive

422 Shocks

Seriously these are heavy duty. By heavy duty I mean its like driving a brick down the road. The front and rear adjusted as soft as they go it has gotten a little better but its still very stiff. I would recommend going with the normal suspension unless your riding double and carrying about 300lbs on top of that.

I just installed these on my 1995 FLSTC. Everything with the installation went well and the shocks provide a nice ride. I was replacing another set of 422's that had an oil leak on one of the shocks with only a few thousand miles. Hope these last longer.

Very responsive suspension. Easy to adjust. From the factory setting of 1 inch lower than stock you can figure 4/16 of an inch equals 1 inch in adjustment. If you can't afford an adjustable compressor air ride suspension that usually cost 1700-2100$ this is a great compromise. You will need a lift to install this one and you will also need the K&amp;L Multi-Lift Motorcycle Lift Ramp(910-201). That part is a must to get the lift from underneath the bike once it is lowered. I originally lowered the bike 4 inches...to much and it is highly not recommended, 2 3/4 inches is perfect for the softail to still have a good ride quality and have a lowered look and stillmaintain safe ground clearence.
