Progressive Rate Fork Springs - Harley Touring, Softail & Dyna
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.
Transform your Harley-Davidson's front suspension with Progressive Rate Fork Springs. Engineered to absorb small road imperfections while providing firm support for larger impacts, these springs significantly improve your ride.
