Overall great product, but make sure you have a long 12mm Allen wrench. Otherwise you will not be able to remove the bottom bolt out of shock. You also need a 19mm Allen wrench socket as well.

About Progressive
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.
Give your Harley-Davidson the aggressive stance it deserves with this Progressive Fork Lowering Kit. Designed for 2000-2017 models, it allows for adjustable front-end lowering from stock height down to 2 inches.
Why riders pick this

- Maintains factory ride quality
- Chrome-finished steel brackets
- Designed for bolt-on installation
- Fits Touring, Softail, and Dyna platforms
This kit features chrome-finished brackets that bolt directly to your stock fork tubes, providing a clean look and a customizable ride height. It's an excellent way to enhance your bike's profile without compromising handling or comfort.
Adjustable Stance, Consistent Ride

Customize Your Front End
Whether you're aiming for a lower center of gravity, a more aggressive rake, or simply a better reach to the ground, this Progressive kit delivers. It's a popular choice for riders looking for a straightforward, effective front-end modification on their Harley Touring, Softail, or Dyna models. Confirm fitment for your specific year and model before ordering.

Great upgrade
time consuming install, but a great improvement over stock. Stopped the brake dive and no more mushy corners, yet a smooth cushy ride, this was everything I hoped for, recommend progressive suspension always.

Enjoying the upgrade
Great shocks No more diving and the front shocks actually move. Could be alittle stiffer but still a huge upgrade from stock. Hwy bumps r gone and it tracks better. Wish I had done the front end sooner. <br />Works nice with the 490s rears too.

Harley suspension improvement
This Harley front fork suspension upgrade is a big improvement over the OEM suspension. You can actually feel the front end soaking up bumps!
