422 Shocks
Shocks seem to be s good ride still with a little drop
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.
Drop the front end of your Harley-Davidson Softail or Dyna with this Progressive Fork Lowering Kit. Featuring chrome-finished machined components, this kit allows you to fine-tune your ride height from stock down to 2 inches lower.
Achieve the perfect stance and improve the visual lines of your bike without sacrificing ride quality. This Progressive kit provides a straightforward solution for riders looking to customize their front end.
This lowering kit is ideal for riders who want to improve their bike's aesthetics or achieve a more comfortable seat height. Installation is designed to be straightforward, making it a popular upgrade for those looking to personalize their Harley-Davidson. Pair it with a matching rear lowering kit for a truly custom profile.
How much can I lower my front end with this kit?
This kit allows for adjustable lowering from stock ride height down to 2 inches, giving you flexibility to dial in your preferred stance.
Will this kit negatively affect my bike's handling or ride quality?
No, this Progressive kit is engineered to maintain your bike's original ride quality and suspension compliance throughout the adjustment range.
Is this a bolt-on installation?
Yes, this kit is designed for drop-in installation on 1989-1999 Harley-Davidson Softail and Dyna models with stock suspension.

Shocks seem to be s good ride still with a little drop
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.
Money well spent.<br />I'm 210 so i went with the heavy duty.<br />Firmed up soft tail suspension and now its actually a fun ride.
Easy to install. Perfect ride
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&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.
